[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 888197, member: 30902"] The inevitable result of freedom is that it will allow us to do thing that some people don't like. That is why democracy is the enemy of personal freedom since if it is not bounded by constitutional rules preventing same, the majority sooner or later finds way to vote away minority rights. We who enjoy the shooting sports are a minority of the population. Those of us who hunt are an even smaller minority. Those of us who can take game beyond 300yds with easy are a tiny fraction of that minority and those of us doing so at long range are a drop in the ocean. Our best defense is to do all we can to grow all of the shooting sports through positive promotion including our little niche of long range hunters and shooters. Some people who wander into this site will find way to be offended just because the subject matter involves the killing of game. Then we get to those who want to preach ethics and deride us simply because we kill game at ranges most people can't imagine. We can't change that. I think as long as we each use what we believe to be good judgement and good taste and keep the nature of our threads, posts, pictures, videos etc we will continue to serve as a great resource for people who come here with an open mind and desire to learn. The rest we just can't do anything about anyhow. [/QUOTE]
