I started shooting at a young age, both Bolt action and semi auto, now that i think of it i can see the similarities of them both, like eye sight and alignment for both Shooting and pool. I have been considered a tough player every where i played pool.
I won some competitions with a rifle when I was a kid. I shoot sporting clays half ass decently now, and I still can't play pool.
I can't prove it, but I just have a hunch that those good with a rifle at a young age seem to pick-up making balls faster than the ones that didn't shoot a rifle. Johnnyt

Yes, I have been bullseye shooting for exactly 1 yr yesterday. My winnings are $8,400.00 in the last 9 months.
I definitely put in a couple hrs a day of practice for first couple months but now I'm down to 15-20 minutes every other day! And it looks like I'll be making another 1k this month
Does shooting and pool go hand in hand??? I think so!
And for those wondering, I was barely hitting the paper at 15 yds with iron sights first month and by the second I was shooting 3" groups with my 1911!
Having a very mechanical background, I also started doing trigger jobs! I have about 30 jobs out there and all my customers couldn't be happier!
Whodathunk after wanting and buying my dream gun (Beretta 92fs) with money I won gambling some 1-hole on a BARBOX!!!! I would go on to make close to 10k shooting led down range?!?!

You're talking shotgun? I'm talking rifle. Johnnyt
Such a stupid thread, the only relation the two share is the term "shooting." Shooting rifles is easy, as long as you hold the gun steadily on target and pull the trigger, the gun does all the work. "Shooting" a cue ball on target takes much more skill and physical coordination...
Good eyesight/hand eye coordination, with focus and confidence in one's ability=good at shooting anything, whether it be with a cue, club, rifle, pistol, racket, whatever it is. When people who aren't military boast about their marksmanship, it's usually because they aren't very coordinated/aren't very good at sports imo
I think target shooting is easier than pool. A new rifle shooter can hit real good in the first session. I don't see a connection between the 2. Put a scope on a rifle and use prone position...it's hard to miss.
