Long distance target shooting? It has a computer that helps you aim. Where's the fun in that?

- sliverstorm 14y agoLong distance target shooting? The bullet kills the animal for you. Where's the fun in that?
- wavesounds 14y agoI get hunting, I don't get "target" shooting, just play a video game and save the $17k - or am I missing something?
- ghshephard 14y agoHunting is 99% spending time getting into a position to take a shot, and then dressing your kill (and, for larger animals, getting all that meat out of the woods) and less than 1% aiming and pulling the trigger. This weapon increases the chances of you accurately targeting the vitals on an animal at ranges from 100 to 200+ yards, which a lot of hunters would probably be nervous about trying to shoot at. Ideally, this weapon would reduce the number of animal injuries, and increase the number of immediate kills. [edit: Ah, I just re-read your comment - you are actually saying you understand the use of this weapon while hunting, but don't understand the purpose of target shooting with it. Perhaps to prepare for hunting?]
- bmelton 14y agoExcept when there are really[1] fun[2] targets[3], I generally get bored too. I do love sporting clay, which is similar to trap and skeet, except you walk from one station to the next, and the patterns are different at each station.
