8 Could be a 10 but I do not shoot as much as I would like (Have hit rams a 200 meters with my security six,4" in 357,Not enough to knock them down)
5 Could stand to read more

4 mediocre shooter usually hit the target within reason but sometimes miss it if I had more range time and training I would become 6-8 since its in my genetics to be a marksman.
6 Know most common gun models and history
5 can do basic gun mods and repairs but nothing too complex

5 pretty good with a rifle or handgun. Lousy with a shotgun. I've never bagged the limit on doves.
6 pretty good knowledge but always hungry to learn more.
2 I can keep them clean but thats it. I did build a couple AKs last year with a lot of help from a friend.

) I've only had a gun and been shooting since November, so hope to improve. Am attending a home self defense class this coming weekend, so am working on improving those numbers.Ten, ten, and ten. I always carry two fullsize 1911s, because I'm all man. One shot from a forty-five (Mine's a magnum) will deafen most people, and the muzzle flash alone causes third degree burns. I learned to gunsmith forty fives when I was in the army, right after Jesus and JMB built the gun together. They brought it to me and I stoned every surface on the gun until you could put bullets in the same hole at a hundred yards with combat sights. But I needed an oversize beavertail to do it. And a tac rail.

Ive been shooting for a few years now so I have improved as a shooter and having a great grandfather that enjoyed gun helps a lot with the historical and mechanical parts.

Depends on the type of shooting: Bullseye, I'm honestly an 8 or a 9. With a .22 revolver and a red-dot mounted on top I've hit 588 out of 600 in practice and 577/600 in competition--95% or better which, according to the NRA, qualifies as "Expert". Without the dot, I've consistently hit in the 540s--90%.
Action shooting? Probably closer to a 5 or a 6. "Combat Accurate", perhaps--I can draw and fire on a 3-second turning target all six shots out of my Model 10 and keep them in the kill-zone just fine, usually. However, I've seen some of the local IPSC and IDPA draw, move, and fire and land all of their shots in a fist-sized group (or, usually, a 3x5" index card) in much less time (2 seconds or less), and it humbles me. And if I ever need to reload, I'm screwed.
Historical knowledge? Not much...probably a 3 or a 4; there's a ton to know, and I've only been into firearms for a couple years.
Mechanical knowledge? I can watch an animated cutaway of a gun run and understand what's going on, certainly, and I know my way around the innards of any modern S&W revolver (and several pistol models) enough to do some basic smithing, but I won't call myself a gunsmith...probably a 5 or a 6 here.
