I would love to see more folks in the sport. But, unfortunately, I don't think it is going to happen anytime soon. Heres my take on things. In my 30+ years of hunting with handguns I have tried to encourage others to take up the sport. Only a small handful have actually succeeded and carried on with it. Something else I have observed over the years of heading to the range on a regular basis to keep in practice is a large number of hunters who show up at the range literally a day or two before opening day to sight in their rifles and check their equipment. Now most of you guys who handgun hunt know that it takes practice and lots of it to become proficient enough with a handgun to be successful in your endeavors. I have come to the realization that most folks either don't have the time or the inclination to get started and or practice enough. Not to mention the ammo cost to get started and keep in practice. That is why our numbers are limited to literally a handfull of devotees to our sport. And until the economy makes a major turn around I don't see the numbers increasing anytime soon.
