heres a question that ive had new disturbance on.
why do we let some people set themselves up on soapboxes and spout forth words and make ourselves take it as "truth"?
for example ive put up with years of being told that the 30-30 in a 16-18 inch barreled rifle is completely worthless for deer hunting, that its at best a 100 yard gun provided the hunter only takes head shots.
yet im told that a contender or encore with a 13" barrel and the same ammunition is an excellent deer killer out to 200 yards no problem.
im told in magazines that a handgun has to generate at least 500 pounds of bullet energy at 50 yards to be considered safe for hunting, yet these wise pundits will tell me its humane to take 100 yard shots with a 16" barreled 44-40 that only generates 650 pounds at the MUZZLE.
if i can learn the path to becoming a pundit on hunting, id love toknow because i have actual fact i could publish and make money on.
