Calling for Change: Respect and Truth in Hunting Discussions

[Muddyboots]

See, I never said anything about a certain brand being better or worst…preference and situation is not what we are talking about

I said "hammer bullet forum" and members being a clique and surely there's been loyalty and clique mentality right here to prove my point.

The brands aren't the concern…it's people that get on here and fan boying over this ****…which is why out of all the things I've said…mentioning hammers has been the biggest trigger to some. It took no effort on my part.

Characterizing a group of shooters?
Thank you for proving @Petey308 's point.

Say something about a Berger bullet good or bad and your point will be proved even further by you know who

I said what I said. If you feel some type of way about it….maybe look inward.

You are just doing the same thing you alway do as usual, I guess some things will never change, now with that being said I was a Hammer "Fan Boy" and at that time they had the best mono on the market IMO but things change and once again IMO that is no longer the case and I have moved on.
Maybe you should look inward as well

In the world of hunting and shooting, online forums, Facebook groups, and platforms like YouTube have become hubs for sharing knowledge, debating methods, and learning from others. While these spaces offer invaluable opportunities for growth, they also have their pitfalls. Chief among these are rampant misinformation, toxic behaviors, and psychological barriers like confirmation bias, cognitive dissonance, and the Dunning-Kruger effect.

I am new to this place having spent most of my time in the YouTube & Facebook platforms and trying to gain more knowledge in the "long range" hunting and shooting.
I have found much of what you are describing as "pitfalls". I search in YouTube channels such as: long range shooting, hunting, bullets, calibers etc and there is a plethora of channels to consume days. What I'm finding is most comments in their videos can never be kind. I find it almost aggravating to decipher "truth" if there is amongst them. I follow two specific channels that fight about bullets. I can't figure out whom to trust. I asked a question about performance compared to generic Berger type bullets and realized to not do that again.
I have also realized never to ask "what is the best" and never say I have Creedmoor.
I hope this site continues to offer a platform where it's okay to talk about differences without taking offense.

Yes, it's both fortunate and unfortunate to have so much information at our fingertips. The pitfall is figuring out what's factual and good information versus misinformation.

So many want their opinion not only heard, but agreed with. Many don't see it as their opinion either- they see it as their truth. They want to hear their opinion come from you (or whoever it is in question). So starts the arguing.

Someone has to be the bigger person though and not feed into it and shut it down. That tends to be the tricky part.
