[QUOTE="69precision, post: 2919739, member: 95300"] True to an extent. But especially in the long range shooting game, the technology makes a big difference. An example. I’m proud of where I’ve gotten to as a long range shooter, but compared to a lot of the guys on this site, I bet I’m below average. Maybe in the 50th percentile if I’m lucky, probably a lot lower though. I’m good with that since it’s just a fun hobby for me, and I have other hobbies and lots of work and home responsibilities. My gear is nice but not top end - a GAP 6.5 creed with a leupold mark4 scope. That said I would be very confident shooting against the best guys that shoot BPCR with none of today’s tech at unknown distances out to 1000 yards plus. If I’m using a half moa rifle with a 20x scope and I can use a range finder and wind meter and they have none of those and are using a 45-70 with a vernier sight, they simply can’t overcome the advantage I have even though they are better shooters.
