You could equally say that the javelin is restricting throwing, and that javeline athletes can only perform in their specific area. Like yeah - no shit. It’s a sport. It’s like looking at darts and saying “it’d be better if they fired them from a crossbow at 200m”. Like okay yeah maybe you’d find that more entertaining but that would be a different sport which you’re welcome to go enjoy.
Because more power is required to reach the distances where everything matters more.
I’m not even sure what that means. Why does it “matter more”? Those in the athletic field of shooting have decided that this is best for a recreational shooting competition. Same as every other sport in the Olympics. Go watch something else if it doesn’t interest you, doesn’t make the sport bad or the athletes less talented.
Uh-huh. Do I really need to explain how one degree of error is a bigger issue at 1000 meters vs 50?
No shit. But if everyone is shooting from the same distance then it’s a level playing field so it doesn’t matter and it’s still a valid competition. There are different skills for different types of weapons and ranges.
When OP is implying my tribe can’t shoot I take it as disrespect and I’m compelled to belittle the competition itself in response.
It’s a meme about the notoriously gun crazy country coming last in shooting. It’s not that deep. And let’s not even get into “my tribe” haha
