Hey TexasPhotog,

I have a problem with the "long range hunter" label pinned on guys who obviously haven't a clue. It lumps them in with others who have done the work to actually make it happen.

I kinda have a problem the with entire label, "long range hunter" to tell you the truth.

It implies that the guy shoots animals at long range and only long range.

Take JohnBurns and Scenarshooter for example. They are some of the best long range shooters who frequent this forum and have made some long, long kills, I wouldn't apply the label "long range hunter" to. I'd bet they'd not pass up a 100 yard shot on a big game animal they wanted to shoot because it was too close.

They are hunters who are skilled shooters.

They have perfected their skill to match the capability of their equipment.




I think "Azzholes" is a more accurate term for the Goobers we're talking about. "Posers" come to mind as well.

I like the way your post reads now...

And I've seen them show up without rangefinders or with rangefinders that don't work worth a damn


...but then I've never been accused of being politically correct.
