[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 605916, member: 10291"] I believe your question is a valid one as I had thought about it myself, not only relative to the shooters on this site ,but also at a club I belong to that does a lot of long range shooting with a constant flow of new shooters wanting to enter the sport. I have been pleasantly surprised with both venues. While there can always be a few zingers that show up, it seems to be the exception, and they usually evacuate quickly. I find most new shooters that are serious tend to be more conservative and inquisitive. I think the first time they look at a target at ranges longer than they are used to shooting, they rarely expect to hit the target. Once they stick their toe in the water, and like it, if they weren't optimized at first, they will tend to bone up quickly and stick with it. I also think that the far bigger variable a new guy has to deal with is refining their shooting skills to actually hitting distant targets. During this period they usually learn about the fine points of load development. Just me looking throuh my rose colored shooting glasses. [/QUOTE]
