Instinctive shooting works well when the game is close, the pattern hasn't begun to bloom yet, and the chance of pointing error is small (whether due to angle or distance).
Start changing any of those variables, and the technique falls apart.

I am curious about the issue of image recognition by the optic nerves. I thought I was told the reason movement in our peripheral vision startles us was that we are hard wired to react to threats from our periphery. We jump on that movement and zoom right in on it.
I thought that to be the premise behind looking beyond where we first expect to catch a glimpse of the target. So that we might use our fight/flee reaction to advantage.

Certainly everyone here has been caught off guard by a target, and then proceeded to pulverize it.
