Feel the love. My only real peeve, so to speak, is people over extending their abilities or their equipment's abilities. If you are going to use a round ball, stay within that bullets effective range and stay off the shoulder. If you are going to use a fishing sinker powerbelt, stay off the shoulder. It isn't you that has to suffer a painful injury and more than likely a slow death. It is the game which you are shooting at that has to suffer from your ego. I love traditional equipment more than most. But I was raised to respect the game which I am after and taught to give that animal the quickest death I can deliver, not allowing it to suffer needlessly. PRB can and has delivered that for a few centuries now. But always respect the limitations of that equipment of which there are many.
The old man used to blast at me constantly for using PRB but he always had to admit I always keep to that rule. Never shot a big game animal past 100 yards, most were around 50-60, with them and always took a clean shot. If I didn't have it in that range, it walked. Never let my ego surpass my equipment's abilities.
