Alas
yes, I accept that point. There are many people out there who have no clue of the effective range of their weapon (oo-er)and will pull the trigger anyway. In any area of life, there will always be cretins who either are reckless or enjoy tormenting animals, it's up to responsible shooters to pull them up and put them right whenever possible. It's the responsible ones, the quiet unassuming guys who can teach you a hell of a lot about your place in the natural world and great order of things, who are the REAL representatives of field sports, not Otis fucking Ferry.

Correct
I've been out several times rabbiting with people and had to pull them up about correctly dispatching a bunny, taking aim at 70yrds with a .22 Air rifle.... Err no, I don't think so!

(I used to shoot for the British Army shooting team, so think I qualify to train people on weapon handling)
