You're hilarious! I've never had the misfortune to wander into the path of someone SO far up their own jacksie that natural daylight must be a dim and distant memory...

As a 12 year old keyboard troll, you really need to let the grown-ups chat whilst you sit quietly, learn some manners and crash headlong into puberty.

That is a pathetically facile caricature, and you know it.

Being open to evidence or reasoned argument is not remotely the same as being weak willed or easily lead. Acknowledging that your own understadinng and judgement may be limited or flawed, and being willing to make changes in light of new information or better arguments is the hallmark of the majority of the greatest minds and most successful leaders.

Sticking doggedly to a conviction in the face of good evidence is not a sign of manly fortitude - it's a sign of stupidity or fear. Usually both.
 
I love this thread....

as do Alliant, Hodgdon,Nosler, Berger, Remington.....because this weekend I've been mainly reloading 6mm heads in a .243 case and shooting stuff!!

So much so that I've left my girlie .300wm and 9.3 x 62 in the cabinets

In fact I'm falling in love the pathetic girlie .243 all over again...... I would have forgotten all about it if this thread hadn't gone on .....

and on.....

and on......

and on..........

Did I hurt your feelings?

Do they shoot .243s? That might explain something.

"That might explain something" reminds me of the ex, a psychologist, found something to interpret in everything....

No, they (the sisters) both chose a more lethal weapon, firing a combination of steel, wood and feathers with a total projectile weight of about 320gms.

You went out with a psychologist and you expect me to trust your judgement on ANYTHING?

As for bows - you didn't just do that? Seriously?

I'll admire the skill and dedication all day long. I'll even allow that they can just about work well enough in the hands of the very skilled and very patient. But my one exposure to their use by 'average' hunters was in Virginia in 2004, and it really horrified me. I was doing field survey work in the Appalachians about 3 months after the bow season, walking line transects through woods. We found 12 deer carcasses/skeletons with arrows in them over a 2 week period. All were slow kills that had clearly been lost by the hunter. Several had multiple arrow heads in them, with evidence of bone regrowth around the wounds - so they'd been carrying them a long time.

Now bow discussions turn nasty quick on here, so that's it for me. It's been fun.

I'll bet overall there are far fewer wounded deer lost by bow hunter than those with guns.

No "mince" either!
