Zebedee & Wolfgang, The idea that the 50% shooter should aim to miss, works on a purely logical basis, but not necessarily on a reasonable one. The 100% and 80% shooters obviously know a bit about shooting. The 50% guy would have to aim really wide to be CERTAIN of missing. Remember, he is a poor shot; If he aims to miss by twelve inches, he could hit by accident! If he aims very wide, the others may figure out what he is doing. Then they shoot him for cheating & have a near-even shoot-out between themselves
