[QUOTE="the teacher, post: 520648, member: 34142"] Your cull hunt story with Glen, the new long range hunter was exciting and made me wish I could have participated. I have a gripe with your story: a respectful one to be sure; but a gripe none the less. I am fairly wet behind the ears with LRH, but when I started out I was made to understand that I was to be proficient with my shooting under a variety of conditions: with many shots on demand at inanimate objects before I began to [I]consider[/I] shots at game animals. Since my introduction to LRH, I have seen videos of "experts" handing their rifles to total newbies to have them make shots at game at astronomical ranges. And now I read your article in which you have done the same thing. I am not faulting Glen, but he should have put in allot more time than he did: granted he was under your tutelage which covers a multitude of sins so to speak but I think you did him a disservice. He had too much to learn when he took that [I]very long[/I] shot and I fear he will disappoint himself soon if he hunts on his own. Either with unexplainable misses or wounded animals. You gave him no opportunity to [I]grow into[/I] the "discipline" of LR shooting. I invite you to convince me I am wrong (and also forgive my brashness if I am). Consider also that I am envious as H E double hockey sticks that I was not the one shooting with you on that hunt. [/QUOTE]
