[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 586787, member: 10"] Len, I would have loved to see that poll taken 6-7 years ago here on LongRangeHunting and compare the results of the same poll today. I am pretty sure the results would have been dramatically different. Not because there are less of us hunting at long range, just because there are vastly more conventional hunters here on LRH now days. Not a bad thing, glad they come here to learn how to do it right but it certainly would effect the results compared to past years when most everyone on LRH was a serious dedicated long range hunter. Again, nothing against anyone, just a comment from someone thats been around pretty much from the start. Guess that is just the evolution of the site. I would like to see more focus set on true long range hunting instead of having all shorts of hunting styles debating a single topic because the way you look at a topic is greatly dependant about how you hunt. Case in point, My debate with SpencerSS, in his mind a 95 gr partition out of a 243 AI is a great chambering for his hunting style. To me its a varmint round. Neither of us are wrong and neither is 100% right, just depends on how you look at things from your background and how you hunt and shoot. Its hard to have a good debate when such widely varying styles of shooting and hunting are thrown into the mix. More discussions turn into heated debates simply because there are two strongly and widely differing opinions simply based on the way the two debaters hunt and shoot their rifles. It would be like me going over to 24campfire.com and posting about my 338 Allen Magnum reaching out to 2000 yards and having the ability to easily take big game at that range. I would be tarred and feathered as an extremest!!! Just my opinion. ALot of heated debates just start because you have conventional hunters debating long range hunters, there is not alot of middle ground there. Again, both are right, both are wrong but no one will agree who is who!!! [/QUOTE]
