      An activity where you would definitely supervise the child, not send them off on their own on a bus.

          I have both and they both have their advantages and disadvantages.

          I prefer my rifle because it has a much much higher chance of a clean quick kill.

          Personally if you are willing to let an animal suffer more to be more “manly” you were never manly at all.

      Yes, that would definitely be one of the many, many better arguments for guns than ‘protection against bears and mountain lions.’

        Tbf I carry a rifle any time I go in the woods damn near.

        I love nature but am terrified of bears and I want a big firecracker, if it comes down to trying to use it on a bear that wants to fight I am probably already fucked and I know that.

        Even then, though, you don’t need pistols for hunting.

          I do know of people who hunt with handguns, but it is definitely rarer. I honestly don’t have any issues with hunting if you eat what you hunt. If you just do it to massacre an animal and just leave it where you killed it, fuck you, but I have no issue with responsible hunting practices.

          That said, it’s my understanding that bow hunting is the fastest, and thus most painless way of killing an animal.

            That is completely False.
            I have shells that will cause a 3 to 4 inch cavitation hole when they hit something causing a large amount of damage and blood loss that will kill with any hit in the chest area.

            With a bow, even if you hit the heart it will still take time, especially if you miss and then it is bleeding, suffering, and you have to track it.

            At top skill in both I would say it is a tie in that both have the potential to kill instantly, a bow is more likely to harm than kill at lower skill levels though.
