His writings on Long range shooting and bullet performance on game are great reads, I recommend them for both seasoned hunters and newbies.

I have the opposite opinion

He learned everything he could by reading forums and ringing everyone to pick their brains

His motivator to create a latent income from his website

Verbose generalisations do not an expert make

There are some very humble hunters and shooters in NZ that are light years ahead in actual experience and technical capability, They’re just not inebriated with the exuberance of their own verbosity
