I think it would be interesting if those of us who have spent our lifetimes as full-time writers, editors, authors, publishers and videomakers as well as in other aspects of the hunting communications industry had a place on AR where we could rank and criticize those who work in other professions.

To level the playing field, we'd need a rule that we could not post if we had even a smattering of knowledge about what is needed to survive and succeed in the professions we choose to attack that day.

Bill,

We have over a 100 forums, covering practically all aspects of hunting and shooting.

So if you feel inclined to participate on any of them, and state your own opinion, please go ahead.

An open public forum, by definition, is open to all members to post whatever they wish.

Take the subject at hand on this thread.

A website was set up to drum up business, its purpose is for maximum exposure, hopefully many people will decide to join this course.

Nothing is wrong with that by itself.

But one cannot stop people who visit the site to form an opinion, and voice these opinions, whether they are positive or negative.

Years ago I used to shoot at the Houston Gun Club.

They used to get someone from Holland and Holland to run a course on how to shoot.

Personally, I thought it was all a load of bullshit, people joined in because of the name Holland and Holland.

There was an old gentleman there giving shooting lessons, who did a much better job.

I suspect the same case here.

Boddignton being a known person, he is taking advantage of that.

I understand there are some shooting schools that offer course on hunting.

I bet people will get a lot more benefit from those than attending this course.
