Jeff I have some top shelf competitive shooters as close friends and I sometimes shoot with them. They understand your language.
I am not in the class with you nor them. You guys operate in a different league. When I practice i take my conditions as they come, note effects,and adapt.
In the field sometimes adapting means not taking the chance. I won't pull a trigger on an animal unless I am 90%+ certain of positive results.
My options were exercised decades ago....due to time constraints, work, family I had time to compete.....or hunt. Not both.
I chose to hunt and live within my shooting limitations.
I understand exactly what you were saying.
