mastertae Posted March 5, 2002 Posted March 5, 2002 Sharp-shooting should it be considered an art if so Why is not Why not? Is it not easier to strike a mountain than it is to strike a fly!
ZR440 Posted March 5, 2002 Posted March 5, 2002 Nah. It's more of a super-tuned skill. It might be an expressive art if you could shoot a smiley face on your target, but that's still pure skill. It's happy hour somewhere in the world.
Hapkidodude Posted March 5, 2002 Posted March 5, 2002 I think that shooting is definately a martial art. A gun is a modern day sword. If you dont think that it takes skill and practice to be proficient at shooting, I would have to disagree. BrettThe Hand is quicker than the eye!
spinninggumby Posted March 5, 2002 Posted March 5, 2002 The hand may be quicker than the eye, but it is what you see with your eyes that gets your hands going. Errr, don't look too much into that :angel: 'Conviction is a luxury for those on the sidelines'William Parcher, 'A BEAUTIFUL MIND'
kicker Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 A gun an MA I don't really think so it's not really something you would use against a person in every day life only like a target but like a MA that require technicie and fighting skills i could understand of something more active when you do your best it`s going to show.

Jack Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Also, where is the art in aiming a gun and pulling the trigger? That is merely martial, if you ask me JackCurrently 'off' from formal MA trainingKarateForums.com
Hapkidodude Posted March 7, 2002 Posted March 7, 2002 Maybe not "a martial art", but to be included in a complete program. Also there is more to training in combat shooting than aiming and pulling the trigger. Is there more to martial art training than punching? Of course there is. BrettThe Hand is quicker than the eye!

ckdstudent Posted May 27, 2002 Posted May 27, 2002 A sword is a modern day sword, a gun is more like a bow and arrow. Technically if archery is a martial art then shooting should be though, it depends how you're taught. ---------Pil SungJimmy B
Don Gwinn Posted July 13, 2002 Posted July 13, 2002 If you don't know that shooting is an art, you can't have tried it in any serious fashion. ____________________________________* Ignorant Taekwondo beginner.http://www.thefiringline.com
