“If you’ve trained to shoot fast and accurately, all the other problem solving aside, just the mechanics of shooting the gun, that’s not going to disappear. Your skill level might deteriorate a little bit, but the better your skill level is the more deterioration you can face, and the less deterioration I think you’re likely to suffer.”
-Terrick Naude
