Re: Shooter vs Dumper Trade Study

I don't think that anyone will disagree with me when i say that a higher percentage of power dumpers than shooters have been effective, and that fact is what makes me favor power dumpers in general.

This is so biased but there's no way you can talk about shooters and leave out 188 and 1771. They are another 2 that are great shooters.
