Re: if they are "2 possible outcomes", then

50% or less performance IS just random luck. Not all evaluations involve ONLY 2 possible outcomes, dummy. But hit or MISS certainly is such a random thing. I didn't say it was bs, but it probably IS. What I said is that it was a LUCK hit, and I have thousands of $ that says you can't do the same thing again, 6 out of 10 tries. Put up or shut up, bser.
Except that it involves more than just firing the gun, so it isn't just a 50-50 thing.
Look at major league baseball. Specifically look at batting averages. Are they above 50%?
The batter will either get a hit or he won't. According to you, this is a 50-50 outcome. Certainly it is comparable with long range shooting. Skill is involved.
But yet averages are under .500 (50% for you GK)
so why are there different batting averages? Skill must be a factor, so it isn't random. A skilled player , may hit less than 50% but is still very skilled.
Or is it just dumb luck?
And if it is dumb luck, then why aren't the averages more evenly distributed?
Because skill comes in to play.
If the hitting a moving target were truly random, then the direction the muzzle was facing wouldn't matter.
What about follow through with the swing of the rifle as you track a moving target? does that matter? (not if it is random as you claim)
Should I continue?
Or DOES SKILL MATTER?
Does the equipment matter? if your rifle is only capable of 8" at 200 yds (from a bipod as you once bragged about), then will that matter at longer ranges? (not if it is random)
Are you starting to notice a pattern here?
Or do I have to continue to spell it out for you?
You finally admit to multiple outcomes existing - that's a big step, after you used a 1 in 13 example to try and prove your point about 50-50 outcomes. (don't deny this, I can insert the link here if you really want me to - and we know how you like to run away once your own post is held up to the light of day.)
