And these different activities require different sorts of effort.
So long as you are awake enough to be safe and aim at the target, you can shoot a gun. Realistically, guns are designed to be used even if you aren't at your sharpest, and there is only so much you'll learn during a session. You are also active, while doing a leisurely activity (assuming here that even if it was an accredited class, it was optional).
This isn't quite like taking a biology class where you are supposed to be sharp enough to learn - or prove you grasp complex subjects. It takes more mental effort. On top of this, classroom conditions are different. Stuck in a chair, in a room often too cold/too warm, listening to someone go on about the history of trees and how they developed into the modern tree. Thrilling.
- giantg2 4y ago"So long as you are awake enough to be safe and aim at the target, you can shoot a gun." Please do some research into a topic before spewing complete nonsense. Competitive shooting and marksmanship involve a lot of different things. Adequate sleep and being focused/alert are some of the core components to good marksmanship.
- Broken_Hippo 4y agoSorry, you've missed the point completely. Physical alertness, the sort that you need to shoot a gun or a bow and arrow or other things that require physical activity don't take the same sort of brain power or concentration that learning a heavy subject takes. One has activity built in, the other has seating and a possibly boring environment. That's the point. It isn't that one doesn't require some level of alertness, but that it is different. You can kill yourself lifting weights or swimming, but folks still do that early in the day - even as they might not be alert enough to sufficiently learn during a boring class.
- giantg2 4y agoI didn’t miss your point - your point is wrong. You clearly don't have any subject matter expertise in this if you're equating it to swimming and weights.
- Broken_Hippo 4y agoJust because you are intent on me being wrong doesn't mean that I am. I'm simply not giving it the "respect" you desire. Physical activity combined with some concentration takes a different skillset and type of attention than sitting in the classroom with the intent of learning new information. The examples not being good enough for you is not my issue.
