Some people also practice with them for hand–eye coordination and accuracy, which can cross over into other outdoor activities. For hunting, they’re not really practical as a primary tool, but as part of general outdoor skills they can be fun to learn and useful in specific scenarios. If you’re interested, it’s worth practicing safely because they take some skill to handle without injuring yourself.
Exactly — that’s the direction I was leaning. The signaling aspect is what really got me curious. I’ve also been practicing control, and like you said, it overlaps with hand–eye coordination for other activities. Definitely takes practice though… I already gave myself a couple of welts learning the basic cracks 😅.
