Sorry about all of the threads in T&T lately, I just have interest in a lot
I was reading another thread about trigger pull and recoil management as it relates to the 4 steps of learning (unconscious incompetence, conscious incompetence, conscious competence, and unconscious competence). The idea is that in the 4th stage, unconscious competence, you do something as a second nature with no conscious thought.
I know that fine motor skills deteriorate quickly in a situation where you have to defend yourself.
My question is this: If a person has reached true unconscious incompetence, say a perfect trigger pull and reset, and is truly competent at it without thinking, would this action be affected by stress? I'm imagining the Miculeks of the world. Would they still have a competent trigger pull since they have reached a stage where their muscle memory will take over, or would this be affected the same as a skill that they had to think their way through?
I guess this is a question that's hard for any of us to know since most shooters don't often get in gunfights. Still, I'm wondering if there is some way to know.
