The art of the invisible gun

[mastertae]

Sharp-shooting should it be considered an art if so Why is not Why not?

[ZR440]

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.

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.

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:

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

Also, where is the art in aiming a gun and pulling the trigger? That is merely martial, if you ask me

[Hapkidodude]

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.

Try playing paintball sometime......

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.

If you don't know that shooting is an art, you can't have tried it in any serious fashion.
