RE: spot-hogg and sword sights
Well....now you're putting words in my mouth. This is my last post. You can win.
I'm saying...as was someone else....that the "hunter" can be DEADLY prolific with his tools/weapon (as was/is the competent golfer).....and not give a FLIP about the things you've mentioned.
I'll get out of here and let others speak if they want to.....but I challenge you to do the following:
Put up a post and ask ....."Do you think about 2nd and 3rd axis sight adjustments when drawing down on a deer"?
That ought to be interesting.
What about a man that shoots a long bow......with no sights? How does he practice perfectly? Are these issues important to him?
I heard someone saying a while back that there was an archer in Vegas that shot some INCREDIBLE scores in a national shoot. When they paper tuned his bow....it was WAY off (not that I'm endorsing paper tuning as a 'proven' method, or anything). BUT.....he ran the table on 'em with that bow. He'd practiced with it.....and he was perfect with it. I wonder if his second and third axis adjustments were correct? What difference did it make?
I've already conceded that in a perfect world....everyone would have perfect form and utilize perfect equipment. Isn't it "possible", though....that a hunter could become a PROLIFIC predator utilizing equipment that may or may not be in perfect tune (or even be CAPABLE of it)?
Let's be real. You know it is....
I'm done.
