RE: How exactly do you group tune?

Black Frog

As it is with any debate, divulging both sides of the story and playing "Devil's advocate" are common and indispensable tactics, used to solicit as many opinions and as much information available about the subject at hand. In the end, each person freely makes their personal choice(s), but are better informed to make the right choice(s) that is best for him or her.

The primary rule used in most debates is: Content and strategy are worth little unless you deliver your material in a confident and persuasive way.

One definite indicator that a person may be emotionally ill-equipped to tolerate opposing views and/or a challenge to his or her views, and seriously believes there is no other way but his or her way, is when he or she unnecessarily resorts to the use of derogatory terms to specifically address an opponent, and then threatens to take their ball and go home.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quotequote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>”...you're nuts. Plain and simple.”<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>”..you're nuts. And if that's the case, there's no need to continue this conversation”<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>.

Another indicator that a person is not too well equipped to handle opposing views is when the person takes something out of context and rephrases what was actually said in an attempt to enhance his or her argument and discredit their opponent.

I did not say... or label:

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>”You on the other hand have labled the idea of possibly wanting to be an ARCHER instead of just a BOWHUNTER as "absurd and unrealistic".<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

What I did say, was:

"..all other shots at a much lesser distance becomes a "piece of cake." Of the many absurd and unrealistic statements commonly made here, that advice and belief takes the "whole cake."

That comment contained a paraphrase of something you said, and my statement of “absurdity” and “unrealistic” was specifically and clearly directed at your statement that clearly indicates you believe mastering a long shot makes shots at a lesser distance appear as cake.

<BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>quote:<hr height=1 noshade id=quote>”If you can tighten up your groups out to 80+yds, and practice long distance shooting, it makes those 20-30yd hunting shots look like cake<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote>

I don’t know about you, but I put the same serious effort and concentration in making a 10-yard shot, as I would in making an 80-yard shot.
