Can we use Pareto rule to improve our performance? (Score wise)

“Pareto Principle or the 80/20 rules that states 20 percent of items will cause 80 percent of the problems.”

Although not often stated that succinctly, I think that fits with most folks experience. Once you get to a certain level, most shooters have the biggest trouble with either their trigger control or their sight alignment in terms of "mechanical" problems. A beginner might have trouble with both at once, but it usually settles down to one or the other. I think for most shooters, eventually it boils down to trigger control. Once you get that licked, it's all mental.

When I worked at Hewlett Packard as a design engineer, they talked about the "big red X". This was the corporate wide experience that if you had a problem meeting a certain spec, it was fair more likely to be the result of one big problem, rather than the sum of several smaller problems.

OK, how about this statement.
“Pareto principle or the 80/20 rules that states 20 percent of specific practice activities will accomplish 80 percent of elevating in performance.”

I like this one better!
