Can't you say that of all pistol accuracy contests. Maybe even chess or poker these days? Namely a computer can do it better, and as you push the curve, more things are essentially 'automated' like memorizing position tables in chess that were computer generated.
The point is there's a spectrum of gamesmanship between completely 'human' and completely 'automatic', and I don't see why these sportsmen's choice along that curve is inherently bad.
- WastingMyTime89 4y agoI don’t think so. Accuracy records are generally done in fixed condition well into the range of the gun. What’s impressive is that the human is extremely consistent and can continuously hit the target. That’s entirely about the shooter. Here it’s just pushing the capacity of a rifle and shooting enough to finally get what you want. That’s not really competing. Why stop there and not push the capacity of the gun towards something appropriate? I personally don’t get it. A more fitting comparaison would be motorsport where the performance of the vehicle matters more than the pilot and which I also find utterly pointless.
