A few excerpts from @Travis_Sawchik’s latest blog on command, more thoughts below and full blog linked in replies ⬇️ Much of what goes into training Accuracy is still more of a theory than a proven science right now, but I don’t think that’s the case for Command. To understand how that can be true we just need to separate the skill from the strategy. For the skill- I’d say the evidence points towards it being trainable, and like pretty much any other fine motor/movement skill, your floor, ceiling, and capacity for progress are going to be somewhat individual. As fun as it is to do so, the answer isn’t just blindly throwing random objects, you’re going to need to know what specifically is going wrong and why that’s happening before you can correct it in a meaningful way. On the strategy side- I’d say if your targeting strategy is not built with your miss dispersions in mind you’re just leaving free game on the table and you’re actively behind what’s happening at the highest level. If you’re punching tickets and not walking anyone now you’re probably fine, but if your misses seem to hurt more than they should that’s a good sign you could benefit from some tweaks.
