New Barnes TSX Bullet?

[L. Cooper]

Yes, Rocky, but it is that "hunt until you are close" that fuels much of the "gimmicky" approach many people have to hunting. I think it is complete lack of confidence in their hunting ability that is at the core of it all.

Since so many are so unsure of themselves once they are off the pavement, they are willing to pay anything to buy tiny, theoretical advantages that will help make them "better hunters".

Of course stuff will never make them better hunters, so more stuff can be sold to the same people for the same reasons. What many gadget hounds lack in terms of getting quality in their hunting is the experience of real hunting that gets you close. How many times have you seen someone who has all the bells and whistles Cabella's has to offer, but who was incapable of any real hunting?

A life of quality comes from the experiences you have, not from the material things you own, no matter how fine they may be. Fine things are nice. I like fine things. But to begin to think that owning a specific fine thing will bring quality into your life is to head down a long, frustrating, and in the end, unhappy path.
