Modern America: Perception trumps reality...
Exactly...
Some myths perpetrated by the specialized press:
- Unless you do not have a SS rifle, do not bother to go out in the rain
- Super-duper-uber flat shooting cartridge...don't worry about the distance...you see, in this article we blasted away a deer at 800 yards
- 30-30 is a mediocre entry level deer hunting round....barely above your son/grandson sci-fi pellet rifle which fires at 1500+ fps (speed of the sound in hot compressed air??!!!
)
- If your rifle do not shoot 1/4 MOA, throw it away, it's useless
- In this hunting trip we don't know how we could have made it if weren't for this latest electronic gizmo/super cartridge/accessory...my God we would have been doomed
- Don't bother go out hunting if you do not have at least a $1000+ scope on your rifle..preferably this model here [fill the blank]
- To stop a bear nothing short of a [-
fill with the Ruger or Remington medium/large bore cartridge of the month-] will work...a 30-06?? A pipsqueak...
- To be safe in the wilderness carry with you this 8 pounds 10" barrel S&W revolver and leave your 44 Magnum home....trust us...
- Short Magnums cartridges are the way of the future....few month later, no wait, Super Short Magnums are the way of the future....
- The 300 RUM is the modern ideal "long range" deer cartridge
I will add some more if they come to mind....please feel free to add yours and to the list....
