[QUOTE="P7M13, post: 2022635, member: 94154"] I disagree that they were similar. Personally, I dislike golf -- simply do not have the patience, maturity or coordination for it. I was a caddie, usually for the scratch players at my club, and loved watching these guys play. On TV? Gouge my eyes out. That said, golf equipment makes a difference. You can take an average player on forged clubs, give them good investment cast ones, and watch their handicap drop by 3-5. I would say its more likely that you can take a bloke off the street and turn him into a spectacular marksman but making them a master golfer requires innate ability that one is born with. Shooting long range, you can make more hits with better equipment, but nothing makes up for practice reading the wind, trigger and relaxation technique. With or without the data and electronics, I still love shooting because when I'm in the zone, time stops. Edit to add, you don't *need* to use electronics at all. You can always make up dope tables for your pet loading, and even use a slide rule to confuse those around you. [/QUOTE]
