They probably meant outside of CS and Battlefield.
So did I.
I took a concealed carry class about 10 years ago with ~30 other people and all 4 instructors made a point of complimenting me on my shooting accuracy, and the guy who ran the class said I was the best shot he'd seen. I used to go shooting with my buddy and his dad out in the back woods, they had an old swing-set frame set up with some bowling pins hung with twine that they would shoot. I got bored shooting the pins so I started shooting the string where it tied around the neck instead. After 8 or 10 of those they got tired of stringing them back up, but what really frustrated them is when I told them I couldn't even see the string, I was just shooting where the it ought to be based on how the pin was hanging. And I was still dropping a pin with every shot.
The funny thing is I can't shoot very well in video games at all, it's just a different skillset and I never played much in the way of shooters (except early stuff like Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Quake, etc.)
