is there such a thing as an idiot savant with guns ?



possibly a dumb question, but you never know.  strange things do occur.

I've seen a lot of people that were halfway there.

well, what do you mean?  someone who is otherwise of low intelligence (measured via some standard test) but is an ace at some shooting sport (maybe skeet or trap, or target shooting)?  I think that is the usual meaning of "idiot savant" though the ace thing is often mathematics or music..


"Idiot savant" implies someone who is great at some task task that most people can't do well, or even adequately while being unable to do everyday things like planning lunch..  I wouldn't be surprised if such existed in the shooting sports, but I have not heard of any...
