Well, it's not like I'm against hunting by principle or sth. I mean, I eat meat, and although people often seem to prefer forgetting this, it requires killing animals. Grew up on the countryside and helped my dad slaughtering rabbits, chickens, and what not. What I do hate for sure is the fact that a lot of people (here) consider meat to be sth you buy in a fancy looking package in the supermarket, as if it grows on trees - they just buy it, and wouldn't consider it a paradox to criticize hunting at the same time.
Stuff like trophy hunting and using 'pest control' as a pretext for 'killing for recreation', that's sth else, but let's not discuss that now, generally speaking there's quite big geographical as well as very personal differences when it comes to people's views on hunting.
Anwyay my concerns have to do with 1. safety (overcrowded country) and 2. the law. If I would get caught, even for a stupid feral pigeon or sth, I might as well have my airgun(s) taken away from me...
So yeah, we tend to focus on precision shooting, fun plinking, and the occasional 'destruction' shoot, where simply everything has to be reduced to small bits and pieces
. And of course things like gear, customisation, pellet shapes and weights, and basically everything that can be tested - as long as it's responsible.Upvote 0
