WTF??? Did the Russians hack TRI computer? I read 3, yes 3 statements on this thread, that were correct, made sense, and I agreed with. WOW
First, Muley. I would LOOOOOVVVVEEEE to have primitive seasons, where can I sign up?
So, now I defend TRI. He is correct. If your launching lead, at those extreme distances, the odds of you shooting over someone, or wounding increase with every foot. Its that simple, and its dishonest to pretend otherwise. Yes, we all have heard of someone getting shot over at 50 ft, or animals getting wounded at 25yds. But, again honesty has to rule, what are the odds of it, vs LR, on a case by case instance?
400yrds, high power, 150 with scoped muzzy, I don't bow hunt, but 50 seems pretty safe. Theres my answer.
We are at that tipping point, many don't want to admit it, or want to deflect. But we are there. It is entirely posible, TODAY to set up a trail cam which gives you real time viewing. Fly a drone which does the same. Set up a bipod, punch into a computer, and have a shot fired, without a human touching the trigger. We RIGHT NOW have weapons under development that can aim themselves, and fire themselves, with bullets that are capable of midflight adjustments. And to pretend that there isn't a large segment of our community that wouldn't buy one the day they are offered, is BS. We are no longer talking about mechanical changes to rifles, or better glass. We are now talking about taking the human away from the equation. We are actively negating the ONLY chance the animal has, which is human imperfection. The cams take away the human eyes. The drones take away the human ability to cover ground. The shooting computers take away the human ego. And soon, the auto triggers will take away the human touch.
WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS TECH. Its just a fact. And I know its not popular with some, and there is a lot of industry, etc. Seems to me, the easiest, and most efficient way to do so it ELECTRONICS. Ban anything that requires electronics from being used to hunt. I'll give up my walky talky, you give up your cam, others can give up their shooting computers, etc, etc.
Now someone go find out who took over TRI computer and return it to its usual source of dumazzery.
