I would say the general comment here is the more you use a crutch, the less overall proficient you will be. Fairly simple actually.
Well should we be giving up scopes and jacketed bullets so we don't use a "crutch"?
Anything a hunter uses in the field for a rest that helps make a good shot on game should be applauded.
Shooting proficiently means know how to use the right rest for the shot.
Christmas turkey. You know damn good and well what I mean. I dont' use scopes often. Or jacketed bullets.
But reliance on ONLY the most modern is a step back.
I'm not carrying all that extra weight for me. Because I learned how to shoot without it. I'm not carrying heavy stuff for clients either. If they choose to thats fine. But for Gods sake if you are going to carry it know how to deploy and use it. Lots of times things happen so quickly there is not time. Out at Burns distances plenty of time for prone and a pack.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
