    I think this is the point; applying all your focus on one thing will distract most people from the big picture. "Can't see the forest through the trees" so to speak.

    Hence the original post I think, not expecting to see what's right in front of you because you are expecting(even when it's suggested by others) something else. I didn't believe the end of the video the first time I saw it, and wanted a copy as I always thought I took in what was happening around me. Of course, once you know about it, it's not possible to get caught out again.........at least in this case.

    Now apply this same logic to someone so focused on find a stag in the bush.................................. shit can go wrong.

    Yep
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    ... and ofcourse each of the small black squares has a short straight line on each of four sides - so there is LOTS of straight lines.
