So on the run and gun pistol range it is hand eye coordination. And on the long guns it is all calculations and data & Steady hand to trigger pull.?

This is a good question.
Shooting skills are always important, and will always come into play. It's much like driving. We all learn in a small car generally, as kids, and those skills are important. It gets more important as things progress to big rigs, or racing cars. Same skills, just honed,and with greater risk as the type of driving/vehicle changes.
So, the further the range the more those skills make a difference. A bad trigger-pull on a 25m range may not hurt so much. At 1000m and the shot could be metres off target.
The data is important to get the bullet to the target, all the other elements I've spoken of before. Without very good data and well-developed skills the shot can't happen.
Imagine a learner driver at 16 years old having a few lessons, getting a probationary license then dropping them into a B-double or triple road-train weighing 100 tonnes. Disaster.
A good question mate. I hope this response sort of helps. It's probably a post all of its own.
Good stuff. Thanks
