Sam1911 said:Certainly. Now you've developed such ingrained habits that changing will probably take you a great deal of effort, and the increase in absolute skill might never materialize.
But with a youngster, with skills still unformed and a lifetime left to take advantage of best practices, we owe it to them to teach them the BEST way.
For the type of shooting that I have done all of my life, I was taught in what I consider the BEST way ... I was at least as skilled as those around me and quite content with my skill level ... but I understand what you are saying.
Actually, I think that the best point that you have made on this subject may be the aspect (if accurate) of being able to more naturally/comfortably deal with the challenges presented by dynamic shooting.
