RE: Frank Astounds With His Shooting And Finds A Girlfriend
I'm confused about why Frank (as portrayed by Kevin Costner) couldn't hit anything at the beginning of the movie. Did Frank spend years not doing law enforcement and not shooting his guns, and then came back to work to do whatever he did in the movie? What made his shooting prowess decline so much?
Howdy sir free-reign! The movie didn't go into it and at the time I didn't know that he was such a gifted marksman before so they should have explained that a little more. And they didn't say how long he had been retired before they called him back.
I haven't gotten to that part of his life yet, that's at the end of the history book I'm going by. It was probably a number of years and he must not have kept in practice.
It takes a great deal of consistent practice to remain really good like he was. In the movie he was trying to hit bottles thrown up in the air which is no easy task.
Most great shots practice almost every day of the week. So if he didn't shoot for a few years that would easily be enough time to lose his skill at hitting bottles thrown into the air.
