I'm not a very good pistol shot. I never have been. I've shot rifles and shotguns since I can remember and all forms of rifle and shotgun disciples come easy for me (meaning I improve when I practice unlike with pistol).
So that got me thinking...maybe I should buy one handgun type (1911 for example) and ONLY shoot it for a few years. Maybe by learning all of its quirks (hand position, trigger control, trigger release, sight picture, ect.) I can learn to aim and actually HIT what I put my sights on.
This got me thinking even harder about other weapon systems. If this same thought process would work for a pistol than the same should be true for rifle and shotgun.
I have the funds to buy many guns...but money doesn't buy skill. Wouldn't it be better for me to focus on one rifle and perfect it before moving on? Or maybe I'm taking it too far. Maybe I should stick with one CALIBER such as .308 and learn everything about what it can and cannot do.
What are your thoughts on the matter? Many on this forum seem to own many guns, in many calibers, with different stocks, optics, ect. Don't get me wrong. I'm all for buy whatever you want and as much as you want. I simply want to know if it is possible to become above-average in the use of multiple firearms or is this only possible with strict practice of one type of firearm (obviously pistols will vary a lot more than a firearm with a stock).
