Same applies where we shoot .Its polite ,i think,and commonsense to tell people there may be gunshots heard and exactly what we are hunting.Again the response by and large is positive-yes you get inevitable howler questions"how come ducks cant shoot back?" a jackie chan lookalike with model girlfriend in 6"stilletoes wanting to do some birdwatching in middle of season opening day!!!!
I look upon it as both education and PR for the sport,sure as hell beats the other and hey it takes up SFA of my time.

Well if you interact with a member of the public and your interation is positive and you come across as a contributing member of society, you maybe able to counter the stigma firearms and their owners have.

My kids shoot the air rifle in the back yard but we're aware that our naive neighbor may call the cops one day thinking were shooting a gun. I keep it on the down low even though im well within my rights as I'd prefer not to have that interation.
