Carl didn't forget how to shoot his gun, shooting from cover is different than shooting from your back while fearing for your life. Carl was cocky and careless and this episode exposed his weaknesses and showed that he is still a child.
People complained that their accuracy wasn't believable. This episode they got what they wanted.

For me, personally, the lack occasional lack of internal consistency throws me off sometimes. I'm prepared to suspend disbelief and allow for a world in which walkers can exist. Just please keep the rules the same from season to season (unless there is a rational explanation for the change). It seems changes come about when it's convenient to advance a plot point, rather than for some other organic reason.
Rick and Carl's struggles to dispatch walkers when we've become used to them taking them out in the most nonchalant badass ways threw me off. Just like watch Darrell use walkers to shield himself from incoming gunfire was inconsistent with our earlier experiences with squishy soft reanimated flesh.
