[QUOTE="StanleyActual, post: 2245813, member: 119220"] Respectfully, I the grand scheme of things, that means next to nothing. I mean people used to shoot lead balls, and without optics too. Im sure when dudes started showing up with optics on their rifles people said the same thing about them. Technology cannot make up for lack of fundamentals, but when someone with solid fundamentals takes advantage of technology, it’s nothing but win. I came from a time when us in the Marines Corps didn’t have ballistically calculators, kestrels, LR Finders, or Bipods on their rifles and we carried tent poles to use as field expedient tripods. Setting up an FFP finding a loophole, using a Mil formula to get an accurate range on a target off of a tent pole / 550 cord tripod and put 1st rd hits on target within your effective range is doable but huge PITA, and you can bet your a** if id have had a RF and quality tripod to use, I would have. Why limit yourself and make your life more difficult that it needs to be? There’a no brownie points earned for showing up unprepared and just “making it happen”. Hindering / Limiting yourself out nothing but spite for technology just doesn’t make sense to me . [/QUOTE]
