    I look at it this way.

    When they were using rocks & clubs, knives weren't sporting.

    When they were using knives, spears weren't sporting.

    When they were using spears, bows & arrows weren't sporting

    When they were using bows & arrows, muskets weren't sporting

    When the were using muskets, metallic cartridges wren't sporting

    When repeaters showed up they weren't sporting either...

    When semis showed up they weren't sporting, (still frowned upon if they are black guns)

    When scopes showed up they certainly weren't sporting.....

    So unless you walk ten miles to work because a car isn't sporting, you should be very quiet........

    How is roaring in a Stag sporting......would be come up to you in September if you roared at him...

    Each to their own....

    Technology is always moving forward whether we like it or not & whether we choose to embrace it or not....

    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I work from home. I reach out of bed and can grab my phone and a laptop. Zero steps.

    No calculators and if you're seen using your fingers to count you'll be ridiculed.
    There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!
