When I first heard the story about George scoring 100% + it was also noted that he fired very short bursts at exactly the right range. This multiplied the number of discounted rounds by the huge number of passes he was able to complete. Most F-4 pilots I knew preferred the opposite technique cos it was a lot more fun. The fact that George also had a great pair of hands was never in dispute.
