Imagine looking through your binos and seeing someone looking at you through a scope. 😱. Dont point your rifle until a target is available. If your scope gives you better info you can decide not to shoot
I spend at least 20 hours a week driving by myself. Therefore I know every song ever written by heart. Podcasts keep my mind engaged with information while I am being entertained.
