Very often people ask me one of the other of the questions above, or some variation thereof. They want to know why I bother, why I care, why I engage with "idiots on the internet", etc. Ironically, it also often comes along with "you're a dick". I find this ironic because I'm being both accused of caring about other people too much and being a dick. I'm not sure I get that leap.
Why I care is that I genuinely want people to avoid the same mistakes I made in the shooting sports. And I have made a lot. Most of them have resulted in a ton of money flushed down the toilet to no benefit, and a set of shooting skills that are below where they should be for someone that shoots as much as I do, and for as long as I have.
