ability are so lousy today that all hunters have to tote a tripod with vise to support the rifle!! Nothing like having commercialism to kill the ability to learn effective field shooting procedure by employing one more gimmick!!
I keep reading "in their pack" and laugh.
I never knew anyone who carried a pack full of all the toys we now need for a big game hunt or even any pack at all. Sheister, comparing old guys who are now physically compromised to young lions is sheer foolishness...stupid.
It's amazing that we filled our tags every year without thou$ands of dollars of "necessary" gear in an expensive pack, weighing us down.
I can't believe how poorly today's younger hunters shoot. They suck at the tit of hi-cap semi-autos and practiced spray-n-pray as kids. I guess they need all the toys, come to think of it.
What, you never emjoyed pulling the trigger on a Class III, or even dumping a couple mags through a semi-auto AK 47 when they were cheap and so was the ammo.
Enjoying time with toys, does not preclude a one shot, one kill philosophy when meat is in the crosshairs
It sure does, when that's how they learn to shoot, and too many have.
I was already an adult when the sprayguns showed up and became popular, and I never thought littering the ground with spent steel cases was a hoot. For those who do, have at it and have fun. It's your right and privilege as an American. I do enjoy a double or triple tap, gotta admit.
Then I guess we had better explain to every military sniper.
"Keep your fugging paws of the M14, and the M16, and whatever else they are using for a squad automatic weapon these days. Those damned things will destroy your abilities."
Bullschitt! Anything which makes it fun for kids to shoot is a great thing. If they don't learn to love the sport, they will certainly never care to become proficient.
I have NEVER had any use for autoloading rifles, nor rimfire handguns. Until the grand kids got big enough to start shooting. (5 yrs old)
Now there is a 10-22, a couple 22 lr autopistols, and a couple revolvers. All to make shooting fun for the kids. They will learn precision later, and that will be self driven. Or maybe it will not happen at all. All Grandpa can do is lead em to water, and sweeten the drink a little. Can't force it down their throat.
People who choose to brew up their own storms bitch loudest about the rain.
