[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2835230, member: 115658"] Been shooting on public & club ranges for 6 decades & have seen most or all of stuff described above. A good indication is painted steel at ranges of 300 & more - not very many hits shown, very few on 1 MOA targets. I believe that in Germany hunters are required to demonstrate shooting abilities to qualify for a hunting license. I would expect a requirement like that in the USA would incur anger. An argument being that getting a driver's license requires driving ability so getting a hunter's license should require shooting & game identification ability. The gun control aspect would happen should an ability test be required. A few years ago, when shooting, this guy pulled up in truck, got out with a cased rifle, nodded to me, pulled the rifle out, pulled down bipod legs, and proceeded to hit steel at 300, 1 near middle 6-inch steel, the next 3 near middle 3-inch steel. He then said - "looks like I am ready to go" - me - "sure does, shoot a big one!" [/QUOTE]
