I think you've got an excellent point, but the key to your question lies in the FATS itself.
Do you recall before you shot, calibrating the gun to your sight picture? Essentially, before you shot the scenarios, you shot at a cross on the screen a couple times till you could hit the center of the cross,,,remember that?
From what I understand that process gets the everything calibrated to your sight picture.....you could have a horrible technique, but as long as you are consistent with it, you should shoot pretty consistent on FATS.
That is something you can't do with a real gun as easily as with FATS. I guess you could do it to some extent with adjustable sights, but FATS makes all the adjustments for you.
Don't get me wrong, FATS really has helped me cure some problems,,,,through the muzzle trace capabilities it has, I've learn alot about trigger control and follow through.
Don't take my story as gospel, but that is just my opinion.
I wish I could shoot bowling pins in real life as fast as I can on FATS, my best time with a stock 1911 is about 6 seconds,,,,I haven't shot in many of the matches.
But, on the FATS version, if I really hustle, I can do a rack of 5 in about 3 seconds.
