Come on, Cut them a little slack! I'm not saying it right, and I don't usually use the argument "everyone does it!" But, They made a mistake and they will hopefully learn from it!
I don't like this, but how many times have you heard someone say "it was on last year, so it'll be good now", or "I don't lthe recoil, so I paid the Rangemaster to sight it in for me!"
The idea of this forum is to learn, and sometimes to teach, not to beat each other to death!

You want to "defend" sport hunting? GREAT!
You do it by defending people who are hunting legal!
You do it by condemning POACHING and POACHERS!
There IS a difference between POACHERS and HUNTERS!
You DON'T do it by knit-picking legal hunter's MISTAKES!
