[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2843143, member: 5412"] The article is pretty much spot on. We had a thread on here a few days ago about SHOT. Just another showing of the same old AR's, but that is what is selling now, so that is what is going to the shows. [B]"Another trend was noticeable. The posters, displays, and photos for anything relating to big-game hunting showed people whose expressions looked like they were getting a prostate exam from the former Secretary of State. Everyone was getting rained or snowed on, wallowing in mud, crawling over boulders, and generally looking like Hugh Glass after the grizzly got through with him. I have no idea what this is supposed to convey. Maybe that hunting is the way to redemption through suffering? If so, allow me to plagiarize mildly from the Army with my own motto: “Hunt big game. Embrace the Suck.” [/B] Advertisers are driving this. Nothing but marketing. You can't come home from the field unless its an "extreme experience" or you life will never be the same afterward. If you don't have their weapon in your hand when having this extreme experience, you didn't have a good day in the field and should be ostracized by your compatriots. [/QUOTE]
