Ok, I can't remember the saying for marksmen, can anyone help me? It is a 3 part saying with two being "sight alignment, trigger control". There is something about breathing, but I cannot remember it.

It's not the number of good shots you make, it's how many bad shots you make that defines you as either a winner or a loser.
What we'd say at the pinshoots I went to was: "You can never miss fast enough to win."
This has always been my favorite...

The pen is mightier than the sword, but only when you're shoving it through your enemy's throat.

I think this is what I was trying to remember. Looks like I combined the last two. I figured I had combined at least two, but I didn't know which two.Originally Posted by arcangel

"Slow is fast"
Target pratice " being able to hit your target with one shot "
speed is fine, accuracy is final
Sight, breathe, and squeeze.

I have a bullet with your name on it and I'm going to keep shooting till I find it!

The optimists are learning English.
The pessimists are learning Chinese.
The realists are learning Marksmanship.
Carry enough gun and you will only have to shoot them once.
