Why do so many people follow professional sports?
It's just simple numbers. Guys who can actually, reliably, pull off the long distance shots are relatively few and far between. Fewer than those who attempt and fail. The people who are real long range marksmen are the fighter pilots and astronauts of the shooting world. Most of us will never be all that, and yet we are attracted to what they have to say, because that is the gold standard for what we do, and we can all dream. So we come here and look in amazement at what it is possible for humans to do. And by association, we steal a little glory. And, being human, we put in our two cents. When you consider what it takes to put a bullet in the right spot at great distances, it's just incredible. And so, the forum ends up like the rest of the world, a few exceptional people floating in a sea of the average.
