I have no grounding whatsoever to talk about big cartridges (or calibers), scope failures, long-range elk blasting, or -- vishnu forbid -- ballistic coefficient drivel.

But I can talk about Dave Petzal a little bit. He's acerbic, very smart, funny as hell, and a writer's writer. On the opposite side of the ledger, he's deaf as a post from all the shooting he's done and quick to take umbrage if it's pointed out, something of a curmudgeon, and he makes a pretty good living drawing out lesser beings by saying something they think they know something about.
