Sorta plainly shows what different lives we all lead.
Well there’s a subtle difference between staying alive to shoot things and staying alive by shooting things ![Popcorn :popcorn:](https://www.eevblog.com/forum/Smileys/default/EatingPopcorn.jpg)
Well yeah but how common is that ?
Public perception of firearms is horrific when in practice their greatest use is for sport admittedly some blood sport however this is to put what is otherwise unobtainable food on the table. A couple chaps just finished checking their rifles here are are now on their way for 7hrs drive to get some Bambi for Xmas.
That said I know of others that shoot frequently and have never drawn blood with their weapons ever !
Competition shooting is a serious thing where those with the skills and experience win the day and not those with the highest priced gear but still these gun sports are frowned upon in the majority of modern societies.

Yet they turn a blind eye to fencing and archers whose sport has also evolved from warring times.
Not the tool but the nut behind it !
