RE: I decided on what top 10 hunting myths to use in my workshop.
I had another post on here asking for the top hunting myths if you read it.
The workshop is for my church's men's retreat this weekend and no they aren't paying me for this.
I got the ideas from suggestion given by people on here and through conversations with other people.

I;ve found that you can tell anyone that they or what they post is stupid, so ya...you're right you can. And that's not a personal attack ^^ you say it yourself.

RE: I decided on what top 10 hunting myths to use in my workshop.
May I suggest when you do your workshop instead of running down the list as you presented it, break it into shooting and hunting categories/sections. It seems the majority surrounds shooting/gun related so go over these as sectionand the remainder as section on hunting myths. You may want to adlib orfind a few more suggestions for this section so it is more evenly distrubed if your not wanting to be more on the "shooting myth" side of things.
Good Luck. BTWgood on you to take the time/effort to promote our sport to others.
