I think I said that a single shot was light and many expert hunters carried them for non-dangerous game trophy hunting. As far as hunters are so safe and conscientious ......I can't tell you how many times on the opening day of deer season, that I have observed hunters pointing their guns at me and using their scope to determine if I was a deer or whatever. I have seen pheasant hunters get sprayed luckily at long distances by shot pellets from other hunters. And I have seen pictures of farmers that have written "COW" on their animals right before opening day - when most of the hunters are completely DRUNK. I have no illusions about the accuracy of the shots of these drunk hunters. Trust me, don't go hunting eastern deer in any eastern state with thick forests on opening day without a bulletproof vest!
