The thread is not about Arnold?...Then who does 52' refer to in the first post of his thread?
The thread is not about Arnold yet in your third line you say 'he' (a different person perhaps?) used certain 'techniques to become a success with marksmanship'. I am unsure the person you are referring to because the rest of us, including the person who started the thread are discussing Arnold Alois Swarzenegger of Thal, Austria. "Goal setting, attentional focus..." Who is this person you are talking about then? You want me to stay on topic yet it you that is straying from the topic in an effort to save the good intentions and reputation of the poster who started this thread.
What started as a call to marvel at Arnold Swarzenegger's amazing life story took a turn when I failed to dutifully follow 52's lead in admiring the guy. 52 focussed on his positives and I pointed out his failings while comparing his values to others who I do admire. In doing so I also question his relevance at marksmanship training given this is the training part of the forum and presumably why he is being showcased.
Now, to 'stay on topic' I must not mention this person anymore but talk about his life skills advice in isolation and how that is useful for marksmanship, yes?
Well then, without talking about the person who engineered the coaching skills I think these life skills are questionably relevant to shooting. They are too generic to be anything more than mildly interesting...What would make them interesting is talking about the person they come from...But that is verboten it seems.
Sorry 55', if staying on the topic implies being a sycophant to the opinions of moderators then in that department I have as much drive as Arnie. 52' wanted us to admire the guy and I tempered his expectation with circumspection. Two different opinions from two guys who still respect each other...Can you not live with that?
