Big difference between hunters and shooters… Some can do both but not many.
Carry on…
IME, a lot of serious shooters are also serious hunters.
In mine they are not. Technology makes up for there inability to get close. I couldn’t care less either way. Just my opinion. As long as they are hunting within the law and making ethical shots more power to them.
As I get older and my body starts to break down technology is definitely on my radar.
Fair enough. It likely depends on the sample of shooters that you and I individually associate with and are exposed to. From what I've seen, guys that use technology as a crutch are not serious about shooting or hunting. There is a difference between lazy dudes using technology to avoid putting in the work/effort, and serious hunters who use technology to take their effectiveness to the next level.
