Formidilosus, I'm not sure I get the point of your post. Is it;
a) You're a good shooter to be able to go in cold and place well?
b) The level of competition in 3-Gun is not high and everyone has a chance even if you haven't trained and prepared?
c) Soldiers and Cops are not well trained because they don't do well with 3-Gun which is a good indicator of their job proficiency?

...or is it some combination of the three or some other? Sorry, I'm not the sharpest at understanding these things some times.
