Well, that's a legitimate question and deserves a legitimate answer.

I used to shoot in competition so I was trying to master the difficult task of disciplining my body in order to get the bullet to precisely the right location in a short period of time. Winning an award was a rare but pleasant goal.

I no longer shoot competitively, or to be more accurate, no longer in competition with others. I am in competition with myself (playing with myself?) and I try to improve my capability of controlling my body in this task.

I have never shot anyone, shot at anyone, or threatened anyone. in 30+ years of recreational shooting.
