[QUOTE="teesquare, post: 1475695, member: 56740"] I referred back to the title of this thread for a moment......And recognized something in myself - and likely other like minded hunters/shooters: Almost NOTHING use today is a "necessity"....But it is about "wants":cool:.... But - just as I would never want to go back to clutching to shift gears, or manually rolling down my window for cool air in my truck....WHY wouldn't we WANT to take advantage of newer technology/better ballistics/refined manufacturing processes? Look - even with modern muzzle loaders - they are far better at distance, and accuracy than their predecessors....And in a politically charged - growing anti-hunter environment....the use of whatever helps insure that it was a "clean kill" has become part of our defense of the sport. Unfortunate....but true. [/QUOTE]
