[QUOTE="cuernos1, post: 300406, member: 17644"] No where in that small comment is there anything saying "everybody".. Closely read my comments as I do not make broad brush statements.. As for your capability, fine but you did say you shot at those ranges regularly, as do I and I am quite sure if you saw me shoot you would say the same thing I hear all the time at the range" you sure are a good shot"... Most of the shots I have seen while hunting out west with quite a few different groups have been Hail Mary's with no prep, no rest and/or idea which way the wind was going.. That was with Outfitters and on the ranches I hunt... There was an interesting article recently about a the difference between and "hunter and a shooter or marksman" can't remember the exact title but it was partially correct. I disagree on some parts but the premise was good. it basically stated, hunters go to the range and site in their weapons before the season and then hunt, shooters have all kinds of equipment and stuff and sit and hunt from vantage points etc.. I somewhat agree... but the difference is a true hunter does what it takes to connect with the animal he or she is hunting.. and part of that should be good solid marksmanship... So to make this go down easier for some of us sensitive types who could be lurking out there.. "If you ain't made a similar shot, feel in doubt, don't know the distance, have less gun than need be for the range at hand, don't take it" enough said.. Out here! De Opresso Liber... [/QUOTE]
