That passes with practice... or so I'm told.

One day I was up at the skeet club, sitting out on the balcony watching the 5-stand sporting clays range. One shooter seemed to get much bigger "puffs" of black dust from the targets than everyone else, and I wondered aloud if he was using some special choke, high velocity ammo, or something.

It was (quite rudely, in my opinion) pointed out to me that the shooter was the current Canadian champion, that targets are *always* supposed to blow up like that, and that if I shot 5,000 rounds a week my targets would probably blow up like that too.

I don't think I've fired 5,000 rounds in my entire life.
