Well, whatever he learned and wherever he learned it, he learned something somewhere. My trainers have all said you're only as good as your worst day on the range.
Ah, youth...It was a her, not a he, and she claimed to not have...I think she was just athletic, young, and didn't know that she shouldn't be able to do that
We commonly see that, when under stress, folks default to their lowest level of training/ability...that is why we train to be more than Adequate or Good EnoughMy trainers have all said you're only as good as your worst day on the range.
Well I have real world experience using those skills and my grandkids kick my butt in first person shooter games. In my experience they are poor simulators for actual combat.

But imagine you didn't have real world experience with those skills. Might your grandkids not then kick your butt in an airsoft game?
What do you think the odds are of this exact set of circumstances happening again?
In my experience you get good at first person shooter games by learning where the software puts the enemy on multiple runs...
In my experience you get good at first person shooter games by learning where the software puts the enemy on multiple runs and when playing one on one you get good by learning the software and how the weapons perform. I’ve found that in many of those games concealment is cover and other things that don’t jive with real life.
It takes much more time and many more rounds to correct bad habits than it does to learn to do it correctly in the first place.It's also much easier for someone to repeat an exercise properly after first time training if they have no bad habits from poor practice.

I shouldn't complain. I've made a lot of money correcting techniques taught at popular shooting schools.

That is what they taught when I entered LE. It was only later that I discovered that the Rangemaster was more a shotgunner (competitive) than a handgunner...and he'd just come back from a course taught at the FBI academy .I wish I'd known that before learning the crouched claw-handed FBI stance I read in an old training manual.

I reverted back to the Weaver that I had been using and used that until I was introduced to the Modified/Modern Isosceles and seen demonstrated how it actually worked better
At my first class, which was the first time I ever shot anything, they taught Weaver. For some reason it hurt my back (I have multi-level degenerative disk disease, L5-S1 is the worst, has ruptured several times over the past ~50 years), my body wanted to do what I later found out was Isosceles. That's how I've been shooting two-handed ever since. For one-handed the most natural for me is to stand sideways to the target.That is what they taught when I entered LE.

Big IF...since his first shots were reportedly while next to a columnbut IF its accurate its seems to certainly look like 40yds to me.
