[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1986481, member: 61747"] I was too in the beginning. I was involved in counter sniper training in the military and was part of multiple exercises to try and not be a statistic. I was intrigued by the long range game and wound up getting private instruction from an army sniper and the quest to learn was set. Since then I have worked with several instructors and train long range courses as well. The world of long range is popular and developing and people desire to be part of it. Scopes, rifles, gadgets is all appealing to people. Their lives don't depend on the rifle nor the gadgets so often people could care less if they trained well enough to make a 800 yard shot on a game animal in ****** conditions. If their gadgets fail they will move into to point blank range or they will not a fill a tag that day. In the end, that is fine. I often find people start off simple and then dig into the details as they gain experience. Why did my data work yesterday and not today..... those are the guys who eventually need very little wizardry but still may prefer to use it. Heck I carry a LRF bow hunting and I have a range estimator in my sights in case of failure, but I practice range estimation all year anyway. I like tech but I don't want to rely it solely. Those new guys at the range will get there too. [/QUOTE]
