I'm just saying that we all should temper our expectations according to what we see, not what's listed in the record books.
This sounds like gawking at Playboy all day......and then going to a local women's softball tournament.....and expecting to find Jenny Finch pitching for Bill's Auto Parts.
You're more likely to find Rosie's twin.
If from the beginningto this day I only went by what my buddies shot I would be laying down dinks.
I wanted bigger bucks... So, I worked hard and located them.... Watched and studied them.... Then started shooting them.
I have said it a hundred times... I live 15 minutes from the PA border.... If I canfind them here..... They can befound there.

I believe that 100%. But it's not just what your buddies are killing. It's what your hunting lands hold.
Your record speaks volumes about what you're doing....and how you're doing it. Your point is valid, though. I don't have any friends around me that hold out for even what "I" have shot....which isn't anything many woud give a second look.
