So...everyone that fancies himself a "long range hunter" has put in the time and effort to be proficient?
That's an asinine statement. In the US, no one who fancies himself a "hunter" has proven himself proficient. At any range. Why should it be different, depending on the range at which people hunt?
I guess the slob hunters are only among those who shoot at shorter range.
Another asinine statement. I've said nothing even slightly along those lines.
Sorry Smokepole, I'm not buying it.
By your prolific and wordy responses it appears that you think that he who uses the most words wins the argument. Reminds me of my wife.
No, not the most words or the most lengthy, just the most logical. See if you can post something that fits that description.
Sorry about your wife, good luck with that.
