I was watching some "cowboy" shooting on a show the other day and was put off by a few things.
-These guys are loading their rounds so light that the recoil is in the .22LR ballpark.
-They are shooting these super-light loads at huge targets less than 10ft away.
-Most of them are wearing multicolored scarfs and have dangly fringe festooned upon their clothing. I'm talking about the men here, I don't have a problem with women wearing this odd junk.
The last contact I had with this sport a good while back was considerably different. The guys used loads that were actually useful for something other than making a huge square of metal three feet in front of them go "ping". They used to use some paper targets that required good hits for a good score. Also, they didn't used to look like rejects from a gay-pride parade.
What happened to this sport? How about some new rules to bring it back into line?
