[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2638774, member: 118816"] Maybe dealing with symantics here but knowing how to shoot a pistol and being able to shoot accurately, especially under pressure are two different things. I spend a lot of time at my local range as a RSO and instructor. There are many times when I have had to eject unsafe handgun shooters from the range. Most were irate about it. My comment to them is, "I have the club president on speed dial. Would you like to talk to him and explain why you are being asked to leave. About 75% of the pistol shooters are very active at turning ammo into noise and occasionally and accidentally hitting the paper plates that they prefer for target practice. Paper plates are actually quite useful as targets, but one still has to hit the plate. Of course at 20 feet or less with an angry bear coming at you is not the time or place to figure out how good or bad you are with a handgun. Then again the closer the bear gets the harder it is to miss. So again knowing how to use them but being able to actually shoot them effectively are two different things, especially under pressure.
