What Shooters Like

[rev214]

From The Shooting Wire feature 5.5.08:

The HunterSurvey.com findings for 2007 show a wide variety of preferences in equipment used by shooters. In the survey, shooters were offered the opportunity to name their favorite choices in firearms, bows and accessories. It’s a wide variety of tastes – like the diverse group of Americans who consider themselves “shooters”.

Interesting. Since it is obviously hunter slanted, I wonder what personal protection oriented folk would say in a similar survey.
