    Adrenalin my friend. Plus Brazil is a drug ridden country, thus the high crime rate. Thugs were looking for drug cash, not retirement funds so they may have been high on something. First shot most likely connected with the dude, but the second looks like it whizzed over the second thug head. You can go a long way on that adrenalin. That's why you need the two to the chest and one to the melon drill.

    Aging shooters...hmmm

    I've not pondered that concept, and it made me think a bit....
    Should I lose my eyeglasses in a scuffle, I would definitely be relying on body alignment and muscle memory as I couldn't find a sight if I had to.

    The doctor that did my cataract surgery gave me back my 20 year old eyesight, I was just amazed at how bad my eyes had gotten when I had 20-20 vision back. Definitely helps watching for critters on that F6B and has improved my aim a hundred fold.
    The funny part is that you have practiced most of your life trying to hit the bulls eye, and then you get into concealed carry training and they tell you that you have been doing it all wrong. Because putting rounds into the same place doesn't help your situation in a gun fight. It dawns on you that they know what their doing and you don't. Its and eye opener for sure and now you have to try and not hit the bulls eye every time you shoot and should spread your shots out to cover more of the target. Its a different concept for sure.

    And I fully get that idea. No worries. I'm 'assuming' based on previous training that when my added adrenalin/nervousness will spread out my groups more than adequately.
    I just don't want them spreading too far and going astray.

    Certainly. Center of mass does not equate to a bulls eye. But... you have to get your rounds on target.

    I am sure that being in a gun fight with the adrenalin flowing will spread your shots out adequately and hopefully not let them go to far afield that you miss completely. Practice, Practice, Practice, does it every time.

    I am sure that in an actual gun fight (and for all of the reasons you mentioned) you will miss the target as well. Practice with someone shooting live ammo at you. That is the missing variable that will tell you how well you will do. Then you will know for sure.
