Lots of time.
It's a shame we must look at everything with a furrowed brow. But it's the world we live in. Alas, my mind goes the same place as yours
How well does the average big game hunter shoot?

Hey there!
Coming along pretty well!
Just needing rain for the young soybean crop.
We've been missing the rain the last couple of days.
I'll need some pictures of that load room/shooting house when you get done!
Let me know if there's something you need down here!

Yep, the catfish are gettin tics on them up here also.
I'm somewhat reluctant to say. But it seems that the new house project will take priority over my shop and my "lab".
.However, we do need the extra room, so I'll go along and push forward.
Sorry for the high jacked thread huntslow, It happens that way sometimes with a bunch of friends around a camp fire.

If keyboard shootin is anything like the keyboard flight simulators, the digital critters are safe!
How well do they shoot in real life or on the internet?
We need clarification here.
First post but love the forum
I tend to agree with you. Similar and over the decades, I have seen some rather poor rifle shooters under hunting conditions and other. Many of those thought they were much better than they were. Even at our shooting club, we had several people who came to compete, and learning very quickly, they needed a lot more training, trigger time and some needed an attitude change. Some never came back after their first match.
I have seen game missed or poorly hit at some rather very short ranges, and then I have seen well trained and practiced shooters make some great SR/LR/ELR shots. A few years back, we had a gentleman from the eastern US come out for a CO elk hunt, and he was placed in a near perfect spot for a near 300yd shot on a standing 5x5. A chip shot for many of us locals, but after 2 missed shots, the elk ran to about 160 yds and stopped at an old fence line. Finally, the hunter placed a shot into the elk, but it was not well placed. After a short run, we had to finish it off.
Like most sports, many people can and do participate for fun, but most will never dedicate the time, effort and resources to rise to those next levels. Then there are those who do, like many here.

I've wounded deer at close range, I'm not proud to say. I've also shot groundhogs close to 800 yards.
For me personally, I've found in deer season that hearing protection makes ALL the difference. Many times with our hunting style we don't get time to slip in ear pro, or so I thought. Once I started making it a priority, my shots got MUCH better. Hoping that now with the suppressor I can continue the trend, AND protect my boy's hearing while they are young.

Agreed. Hearing pro makes better shooters of everyone.

It's been suggested for many years that firearms noise hinders most peoples accuracy to a greater degree than recoil! I'll not argue that theory….as it's pretty well proven! memtb
