Jees! I hate to get into this and any wise man wouldn't, but now you know something about me; because here goes.

I agree with this statement (and that is all it is a statement) and I think most of the rest of the world does too; but that doesn't make the RB a bad projectile. It is a very simple statement and it accurate. The minnie would have never had been invented if the RB was the state of the art. Nobody would have improved on the minmie if it were the best. Ships would still be shooting balls if they were the state of the art. Time changes everything. The projectile that I now believe is the best projectile out there will be insignificant in 60 years. When I read his statement that is what I read into his statement I have no other agenda. As a history teacher I see change through history all the time - not to say that all change is good and conversly not all change is bad. Technology does not stand still - and I really sometimes wish it would. We as individualscan accept technology or wecan stand still.

Pglasgow does not like my sabots I really am not interested in his heavy coniclas at the moment - and I am not going to call him on the carpet for suggesting it.

I personally do not agree with everthing I have read from Pglasgow, but so what? I take from him what I can use and ignore what I can not use. To start a controversy over an uncontrollable point is not worth it.

I myself, at this point would not hunt with a RB - I would be doing the sport of hunting a disfavor and I would be doing the animal kingdom a disfavor. I am not qualified to hunt with a RB. I also at this point would not hunt with a heavy conical for the same reasons.I, also. would not hunt with a PowerBelt becuse I do not trust them to do what I need done and that applies to RB's and heavy conicals. Not that they can't do the job but I do not have the confidence in thoseprojectiles.

I don't agree with cayugad all the time either but I certainly am not going to put a private disagreement outthere in the public forum and cause a public controversy.

This board has almost been controversy free all the time I have been here let's keep it that way that is the beauty of this board.We all will never agree totally on everything accept that and move on.

sabinajiles, your point was made very well and appropriately in your first post requarding this subject and backed up by cayugad - I didn't totally agree with either of you but it certainly did not stimulate me to continue whipping the same post.

Let's stop now before it gets out of hand as it has on so many other boards. All of this has nothing to do with the title of the post.

As I have said before I am a school teacher and a coach - I am not a politician nor am I a writer - nothing that I have tried to say here do I mean to upset anyone - we each have or own passions and they do not necessarily need to be shared by all.

Let's all move on, please

sorry about the length
