Heck, Sky, I know everyone has got to start somewnere. I was lucky enough to have a father who loves to hunt, and cared enough to start me off right and give me guidance. I think you mis-understood me. There are alot of folks buying these mega-blaster magnums who have no intention of learning. They hear someone talk of a 1000 yrd kill, and think "Wow, I got the same gun, so I can do it too!".

<br>We all agree that there is no substitute for experience, no matter how close or far you're hunting. But you and I both know that some will try to substitute money for experience.
