Only thing Ive observed is not many practice off hand shot or snap shooting ( like jumping a bedded buck or bull) and miss many shot opportunities while hunting now because obsessed with 1000 yard prone bi pod shooting. Making a standing 100 to 200 yards shot in under 5 seconds not to easy to do or snap shooting consistently 30 to say 80 yards on a moving target

That right...

If under 200 yard targets are expected... most any rifle... or even shotgun slugs.

If I am setting up on a bean field... my rifles ALWAYS wear a bipod.

IMHO... 80% of shooters over glass their rifles... 95% if they are under 35.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
