Using markers to help with distance . . . reminds me of the British Army getting ready to face off against the Zulu hordes!
Or Andrew Jackson at the Battle of New Orleans .................. "wait until you see the whites of their eyes".
I recently had a conversation with a friend who, while in school at UGA in Athens, hunted quail around the countryside there. He once had the opportunity to go with a local legend, Mr. Willie. They hunted 2-3 hours that morning, then went by a country store for a hot coffee and late breakfast. He commented that Mr. Willie was far and away the finest shot on quail he had ever seen, and asked how it was that he seemed to almost never miss. He said Mr. Willie got quiet and looked long at the old woodburning stove before answering, then said, "I don't really know, never thought about it. All I know is that when I see an eye, I pull the trigger". They call that "hard focus" now, but it's nothing new.
