yeah, you kinda contradicted yourself there.. they're even an Olympic discipline, which is vaguely inspired to their original purpose, but then so is the use of bows, isn't it?

As for hunting in this country, bar deer you're going to atomise your target with anything much above a .22. We kinda lack big game.
yes, you can lose it, but that's why there should be a more common gun club mentality and attitude, where you're kinda kindly forced to be in a social group when using your firearm.

Uh and a semiauto .22 is very, very accurate and lethal up to 150 yards, with subsonic ammunition even up to 250 and still very very lethal. Considering the very close distance at which the gun massacres happened here, you can appreciate that the calibre of your firearm becomes of secondary importance, but then, you would know this if you had some experience on firearms.
