Default RE: " Playing The Field" --- Do Your Skills Transfer?

I would say yes, with two exceptions. I can grab any of my " do-all" scoped big game rifles,.270win,.308win,35whelen,etc and hit out to 200yards. I can do the same thing at 150 yards with my " brush" rifles .444 Marlin, .358 Win.

Now to transfet over to open sight pistol shooting 9mm,40S&W,.357mag,.38spl, etc I need a bit of warming up. Now with my scoped .44 mag I am good to 50 yards or so. The same goes with my peep sighted rifles I need a few warm up shots, this is why I don' t use them for shots beyond 50-75yds. When I say I need warm up shots I mean I need to start practicing earlier and more often if I plan on useing them for a hunt or shoot.

Shotgunning is different. I shoot totally instinctive. Infact the best way I can explain it is too watch a good basketball player shoot freethrows, he knows the moment he lets go if it is a good or bad shot.
