You are definitely one of the finest shooters whose shots I have ever seen - the apex of the best 🌟🌟🏆🌟🌟
I appreciate (or something like that... say, maybe 'grok upon' or to be more literal [or literary?] about it, I could perhaps pen [ok, ok... type on my wirelessly connected kneeboard] 'tolerate') the sentiment you posed, Joe.... but.....
I am NOT a shooter! And if I were, even among we, the many, who are speciously called the 'hardest of the hard core shooters', I can (IMHO) be hardly classed --or classed hardly-- among those who 'shoot' and/or reside (as do I) beneath the bridge of their choosing and live out their artless lives in their (my) spacious and palatial Kelvinator refrigerator box, the better to avoid the slings and arrows that inevitably come from being classed 'one of the finest' of 'shooters'.
That's because
I do NOT do shots (anymore). I've learned. I've graduated. I've progressed. And I've matured in the Epicureanistic Arts of Imbibement such that I now sip and savor and swill no more! From a PROPER 6-oz cut-glass tippler-- and subscribe to the 'two finger' rule that maintains that, in the glass, there'll be just THAT amount of the life-giving (& chock frikkin' full of minerals, vitamins, & brain and memory [and.... um.... "performance"] enhancement agents) of caramel-colored nectar of straight --and PRICEY!-- Kentucky Bourbon! Shot glasses? Peh! Sure, I suppose there might be some in the cabinet, but if there are, they've long since become the residences of spiders, mouse turds, and dust. Cuz I sure don't use 'em. Neither have I --in weeks possibly, or possibly even maybe in months!-- rolled down the top of the paper bag in which the nectar came, because here, beneath my bridge, though some might see me as being mildly 'ape-x-ly', I, nevertheless, in all manner of things, strive to aspire to be ape-Z-istic!
Even if my strivings (might) come up short on occasion. Which regrettably they do. Which is not to dismiss entirely your (if slightly hyperbolic?) endorsement, of course. Which is, of course, entirely accurate.
