Your stand point is moot, when you were the young generation the exact same would have been said by the older generation before you with your flash brace and bit set.. because "back in my day" we had to use or do XYZ instead.. its just a stupid argument. I bet the same "back in my day" came out of the cupboard when scopes first got put on rifles. You taught that young staff member something, success - learning - not their fault they don't know what an old outdated brace and bit set is.. its 2023.

I grew up using max point blank range and aim low with angle etc all taught by my father. As I have grown I have learnt new skills and developed methods to become more efficient and more accurate with the development of technology. It didn't just happen overnight, it has taken years to understand all the different things and learn the processes, inputs, calculations, why they matter, how to fault find etc and every day there is something new to learn. All done through learning in order to get experience in order to develop the skill... If it didn't take any skill or experience then the OP wouldn't be trying to learn right now? They are obviously just on that learning journey and looking for help to develop their skills and knowledge. How is that so wrong? I applaud them for bettering themselves and moving forward. After this they will have acquired some more experience.

I can't help to say something about your comments of "back in my day" I do `t think "back in my day" has a problem, lots of things we use today are invented long before we were born, freezers, differential gears, rifles, ballistics and MOA we are using today for hunting as well economic theories, farming skills that support people`s life here. Do `t know what you do for living, but I guess all the skills you learned from people that is older than you, and your boss should be older than you in your previous job or maybe now. So, please show some respect.

You said your father now learns from you for new techniques, I have no doubt of that. But have you ever thought he is happy is because he is happy to see you grow up, to see your advancements for everything from you, not those things he knew only in different forms of presentation. Hunting is not a competition that `s why I like it as well fishing. You can say all the F&off things you want, but please show some respect to "back in my day". Thank you.
