Part natural ability, part having a Dad and his friends who were good at teaching it, and military service. I learned Bullseye pistol shooting first, then picking off rats at the dump up at the cabin. Rifle, pretty much the same thing, though 3 position instead of Bullseye. I learned to snipe the rats with a Rem. 572. Shotgun, my Dad's best friend Rich was a great wingshot, and started me on a hand trap, then Skeet, then Trap ranges. I found the rifle and shotgun skills are retained better than pistol, it requires more practice to get good at, and to retain the skill.
Then I went into the military and basically had to relearn to shoot rifles, but I was wise enough to listen (I was about 5 years older than most of my Basic platoon) , and set my ego aside.
