Gamesniper19, great post!
Not only are those "wannabe" long range newbie hunters/shooters wasting your time, and causing suffering to animals in the field… they are doing the same on these forums…
Many Uneducated wannabe/newbies in today's shooting sports/forums are not willing to, capable of, or WANTING to learn…before they shoot, take to the field, or attempt to take an animal while hunting.…Or to understand their equipment
Why do some of them NOT want to "learn" about hunting/shooting, through experience?
Because, they don't truly LOVE the sport. They want to buy their way into being "a respected Expert"
Even if they don't make money hand over fist…money is their "membership card" to this sport…(and everything in life)…It is not
Others have been taught that in our "Society of Instant Gratification", that no dues have to be paid (experience built up through trial and error), for knowledge and skill…they lay some money on the table, and that is where their knowledge and "Street Cred" is earned
Also, many people really have the such limited mechanical knowledge or "street smarts", when it comes to shooting, hunting, or being in the field. Because that is an acquired knowledge, from time spent in the sport, on the bench, and dare I say…common sense from previous experience
And why are many not willing to spend the time accrueing knowledge in the field?
…they just watch how to do it on YouTube instead
And do I need to mention all of the G's, Trolls, spammers/scammers, and bots on all of these forums, wasting our time?…
Bottom line is…these people need go spend some time on the bench.…Go spend some time in the woods, prairies or mountains, take some pictures…and enjoy this sport for what it is…
Not to pay for, and pretend to be, something they are not.
