("Bill Jordan")Speed is fine. Accuracy is final.
I tend to.believe that. It fits with something a weapons instructor used to tell us, " Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast."("Bill Jordan")

He said it came from the military, but I don't remember who said it first.
I'm not sure where "first" was, but I can tell you I read that in a Bob Bondurant book about sports car driving some time in the early '80s...The fist place I heard it was at John Shaws school - Mid South… would have been around 1993 maybe?
Shaw used to train A LOT of police swat and military SOF back in those days…
He’s long since retired.. but his son Houston Shaw still trains.. and Mid South is still open and offers training (John still owns it.. but he has a cadre that now does the instruction)…
