Perishable skills

[Purly]

This will be over soon and we will get back to shooting.  Since we haven't been shooting what did you think is your most perishable skill. Pistol, rifle, or shotgun?

[Critr]

YES!!

Good reply, Critr.
In my opinion, gun skills don't leave very quickly, but what does leave very quickly is timing.
When dealing with split seconds, a little off is a wreck. I was about a sixteenth of a inch off
with everything, including shooting, all winter. Now it's at least an eighth.
F.H.

I think they are all perishable. I went to the range today for the first time to shoot since the Feb. 1st match. I took my Original Model .45 Vaqueros that I started SASS with, I don't think I've had them out of the safe in 10 years.  I loaded 50 rounds with powder that has been in the powder measure since I quit shooting 45's. I was a little concerned but it smelled ok and shot fine. I apologize for the videos being so long but I was by myself and was propping my phone up on the top rail of the fence.
