No doubt, this will be one upset little girl should they change anything. Notice the 10 powers around her neck!!!!

Denigrating another user group will not solve matters. Remember, we dont want them denigrating us.

I believe all of us should be on our best most polite behaviour for awhile. We are a community of hunters and outdoorsmen and women, not a slander group.  We musnt stoop to their level of name calling.

Great picture Phool! THATS the kind of image I want to convey to non hunters and hikers.

Mntwalk, I hear your point. I will clean it up...

Huntphool, good idea to show kids with binocs in the field. I will add one too.

There really isn't a whole lot to be gained with arguing with any of those who are already convinced we are all evil. The battle will be to hold ourselves up, set a good example, and stay strong with our message.

I agree, well said.

All right, I will add one too.  15 years old and mad as hell about what has happened and could happen.  She cannot figure out how in the world a mistake could be made if you use optics and safety.
