Looking forward: Is technology spoiling fishing instincts?
An evergreen tree, a meandering point and a water tower was all the romance needed. I can still remember looking at these things like it was yesterday. But yesterday was 30 years ago. On that day I learned the most valuable aspect of fishing for the day; that being, instinct.

Choosing ammo wisely, holding the gun properly and using a gun that fits and minimizes felt recoil can make you a better shooter.
