[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 177785, member: 25"] Keith, I enjoyed your article and commend your writing ability and intent. You make a good point, are we protecting and standing-up for our sport or are we sheep. I guess I am tired of the stupidity I read, that is why I simply avoid some of the threads. But in fact you are right, we should definitely stand-up for our long range hunting abilities and sport. This is a touchy subject, not sure where it should go, since I would hate to provide the anti's with material to distort. Sad thing is a lot of the assholes who get the most wound-up about shooting past 3 or 400 yards are hunters, not the greenies or PETA's. Life goes on, I have decided to simply reply that I can shoot out to the capability of my equipment and hope to maintain that confidence and skill. If I want to shoot farther I will obtain the necessary gear, not throw hail-maries in hopes of a lucky hit. I have found myself getting ticked-off because some very good long range shooters are wasting good reloading time putting together rebuttals or arguments on some forums that are like beating their heads against a brick wall. I believe most of the know-it-alls are internet experts in their own minds, have no real shooting capabilities or an extensive knowledge base to work from. Fact is there are lots of guys here who would benefit from your article, guys who are new or sitting on the fence as to whether to give it a try. I wrote my note from the viewpoint of a somewhat experienced shooter, not thinking about the newbies and guys who are reading this site out of interest and not committed yet. [/QUOTE]
