Context:
Fast but loose
"Voluntary and reactive movements differ in basic ways," says Florian Waszak, who studies movement at the University of Paris Descartes, France. The system has evolved so that reactions may be very fast but perhaps less accurate, Wasnak speculates.
Indeed, Welchman's "reactive" players hit the buttons less accurately than the "intentional" players, another reason fast reactions may not win gunfights.
So it was all Hollywood legend. "I've found little evidence for face-to-face duels on the streets of Dodge," Welchman says. And Bohr? "Maybe he was just a good shot." Or maybe everyone just expected the great Niels Bohr to win.
No. Good shot means someone who is accurate with a firearm.
@oristarA,
an accurate gunslinger
although neils bohr was slightly more famous for stuff other than reaction times
No...a good shot means that one hits one's target with consistent accuracy when shooting.
@dlowan,
This is a good definition because it can refer to sports as well as guns -- a basketball player can have a good shot (which means he is able to make the ball go in the basket when he "shoots" the ball), a hockey player can, etc.
But that's just additional meanings for the term, in your context it's about guns as others have said.
Stumble It!
