Come on guys,

At 32 years of age I'm not an old man (unless you ask a teenager) and I'm sure I don't have as much experience as many of you but I still have 2.5 decades of shooting and hunting experiece. Not just a couple times a year but almost weekly trips to the range to fire off a couple 100 rounds per trip (admittedly though mostly from the bbl of a Sig229 these days <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />). My point is that I do know a little about what I'm saying though I may not be saying it clearly and I am aware that there are plenty still with more experience than I.

Most people hunt large game for decades and are worthless with even a rifle at 100 yards with open sights so lets not give inexperienced hunters/shooters the impression that it is an easy and/or common task, especially with a barrel-heavy or short barrel (6" or less) revolvers. For 99% of the people out there it takes thousands and thousands of rounds worth of range time to aquire that skill with the highest quality of handguns and for some people , based on factors like size, stature, stamina, how they handle recoil, steadiness of their hands, etc, they may simply never gain the skill. To say the least, it is very difficult to acheive that level of skill and even with the skill you'll never shoot better than the way your gun shoots from a vise, so this only applies to high quality firearms to begin with.
