[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 1737696, member: 78056"] I believe it's an increase of quality in just about every aspect of shooting and hunting. Better loading techniques, better gear, ability to range a critter exactly instead of guessing (although some of the old timers were pretty doggone good at it!), better bullets, just about better everything. Except, in some cases, judgement. Shooting a 1000 yard gong is a lot easier than taking the same distance shot on a living animal. There's a learning curve and as long as that distance gets stretched a bit at a time, I don't see a problem. But when a rookie that's hit the gong a few times starts out shooting at critters at that distance, I suspect there's going to be disappointment & possibly wounded animals in their future. Especially when they'll turn down a 200 yard shot, just so they can say they made a 1000 yard shot. It's a lot easier to screw a long range shot up than it is to make a good hit. It's simply not for beginners. Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
