gnoahhh
The best thing to do is ignore him the best you can . He will flip-flop around more the obama at a tea party meeting .
arts of work arent always the best shooters.
Very true
The thing is they have to be truly functional and not just working, works of art . There has to be quality under the cosmetics . If not . Then an average shooter isn�t going to be anymore accurate with a custom traditional gun then a higher quality production gun .
frankly even with quality if the shooter doesnt spend the time to learn the gun . he will never reach that guns potential . work of art or not
As was also mention accuracy has a whole lot to do with the shooter as well as the gun . doesn�t mater what gun it is .
IMO the large % of all shooters will never become capable of shooting any gun to the best of its capabilities . Especially when the cost of actual shooting is so greatly inflated .
I also think a lot of the divide comes from want and likes .
Basically no different then those who like lever actions , semi autos or bolts .
Those who prefer fully bedded systems to free floating systems .
Also as was mentioned . For some folks a gun is just a tool . Yet for others its more then just a tool .
Think about how some folks take care of their tools vs. how others who looks as there tools as something more .
isn�t it kind of funny how a mechanic who depends on and uses his tools every day . Counts on them to do their job , normally doesn�t buy cheep . Even though that cheep Chinese 1.00 wrench will turn a bolt many times just as well as a 25.00 quality wrench .
Why is that you think ?
Why is it that the same person will meticulously clean those tools after use . Gets completely bent when someone drops his tools ?
Yet the cheep tool for most of us . Myself included . Gets tossed in the box without a second thought
Kinda makes a fella wonder . At least it does me
Simply put , there are oh so many variables that go into just about everything . that�s just the way of things
Frankly though . I believe that people should at least have the fortitude and the character to make a stand on what they believe. Regardless of the situation .
If a person believes that modern designs are more accurate . Then fine . Stick to that opinion with sound reasoning . . . As long as your not comparing apples and oranges
When that reasoning becomes accepted . don�t back peddle . Stick to it .
I also think the same thing should go for those folks who do shoot both systems . If you don�t believe there is a difference in accuracy when comparing apples, then say so . Say it loud . When manufactures and writers try and scam the public . Hold them accountable for their opinions. The shooting public has a right to know the truth .
A couple years back I sat in on a closed door F&G meeting . The night before at the public meeting I listened to a regional big game supervisor go on and on about how his modern muzzleloader was far more accurate then his traditional rifle . Thus it was far more humane
Yet behind those close doors he testified that he had just a month before killed an antelope at 120 yards . How his traditional rifle, shooting a lead ball ,had place the ball right through the hart and lungs .
Thus in his opinion , neither system was any more accurate then the other .
So what had changed in 24 hours.
Well to put it bluntly he found out that the commission was about to place restrictions on modern designs based on his statement and supporting articles written by many modern manufactures and so called modern muzzle loading experts .
So what was the real truth ?
I cant say .
But if shooting a jacketed conical then his modern rifle was probably far more accurate with that round then his traditional one .
But the opposite is also probably true if you tried to shoot the same load that the traditional rifle shot most accurately in that same modern gun .
IE apples an oranges
