The Way of the Shotgun

The skill and precision of a highly trained marksman are of course to be desired, for reasons of effectiveness, efficiency, and minimization of collateral damage. But it is not an end that can be reached overnight. A great deal of training and practice (along with some natural talent) are necessary and should be pursued.

More frequently than not, adequate training time is not available. This should not halt the honing of one's skills, but one must realize that they may have to fight before they feel they are ready. If, if one must fight in this interim, it is not uncommon, or altogether ineffective, to substitute quantity for quality.

This is the way of the shotgun.
