The most useful skill I learned outside of shooting

[Alan]

I'll say physical fitness, hands down. All the gun skills in the world don't help if you're gasping for air after walking 200 yards. Hunting steep terrain, training courses that require movement, even just carrying gear...cardio and strength make everything else possible. I spent years focusing only on shooting and ignored the body that has to do the shooting.

Mine is time-management

I figured that out on a mountain hunt years ago. Gear and shooting skills didn't mean anything once I started climbing. I treat getting in shape as part of my training.

yeah shooting is just one part of the equation. Endurance and strength make every range, hunt and scenario actually manageable.
