I know for a fact that 50% of the success I've had is NOT down to luck. I've trained hard and studied harder for that success, mate. Luck plays a part in pretty much everything we do, but nothing like to the degree you're claiming.
And experience comes into play too aswell as education. I have been shooting for 41 years now and was taught by an old game keeper (Ted R.I.P) I still won't chance a shot even though the knowledge and confidence is there, i need to be as sure as I can be because there is always another opportunity to get it right. Like the rest of us I still miss but better than a dirty shot!!!! I've heard it all over the years, the 100yrd rabbit taken down with a BSA Meteor
