Id say the type your involved in would be one of them.
Trap shooting would be another. Ive known at least a handful of guys who got to the point they could break 100 straight occaissionaly with a gun like a plain old 870 Rem. But ive never known one who broke 200 straight, even though a few tried with very expensive guns.
They just weren't 200 hitters, and the gun quality didn't help much.
Now as for long range target shooting, the more experienced shooters get to know the days they might, from the days they wont.
It can come down to what relay you shot on making the difference, and not necessarily just skill level.
Some days you gits the bear, and some days the bear gonna git you.
