I agree with what you said.  Like I said, I do not hunt, but I do have
a 22 rifle, and have had to use it a few times on coons and possums
that tend to get out of control and do damage.  I really hate to shoot
any animals, but I do it if I must.  I have done little shooting in my
life, yet, I can aim and get those coons or whatever right in the
head.  When I got the rifle, I put one of those paper targets on a
dead tree and fired a few dozen shots, (and most of them were just for
fun).  I found the gun was accurate and thats about all I have ever
done other than use it on obnoxious critters.  So, I agree, with what
you said. They should get their guns aimed before they go hunting.
