What are you talking about.....I never said I agreed with jvb ......

it's funny you call me a fudd everyone on this form is a fudd you carry a weapon and hike around the woods trying to kill animals YOU are a fudd to someone.

Yeah the whole “fudd” thing is super douchey. Every “new school” clown that throws that term around to everyone that has a different perspective and view, that is probably older and killed 10X more shit then them, is annoying as shit.

I’d go hunt with a seasoned “fudd” 100 times over before I went with some flat brimmed hat kid that just killed his first buck and read a bunch of shit about .224 wound channels and thinks he’s the greatest thing to grace the planet lol.

I first heard the term fudd last year. And it was a total douchebag talking about how he got smoked by a bunch “fudds” at the local PRS shoot. And I’ve never heard the term, used negatively, come out of a non douchbag’s mouth since then lol.

Older dudes that like to hunt and grew up shooting larger guns for whatever reasons they chose, are just hunters using gear they have confidence in for one reason or another. Just like everyone else.

Agreed.

Irony that the old timers (I'm neither old nor young, im 38), who apparently used to say my generation was sensitive, are sensitive about being called a fudd. I've heard a lot more bashing of the "flat brimmers" than I have of the "fudds" in my time around hunters. I think both terms are dumb though. We all were a "fill in the bank" at some point in our hunting careers. And we all will be "fudds" some day to the younger generation. I apparently hurt a kids feelings at TAC when i told him how good his generation has it with archery equipment. "i've been shooting a bow since i was 5 years old dude, you don't know me" type answer was his response..... all just trying to say how good bows are now. Maybe we should just not be a bunch of bitches.

I suppose context matters. Personally, I find it useful shorthand to describe a type of person or way of thinking. Until Merriam-Webster adds it, that definition is open subjective and open to interpretation. I don't choose to use it to insult anyone. I think it suggests an inability to stay open-minded to new ideas. I'll continue to use it. If that makes me a douchebag: I accept that.

That’s why I said used negatively or in a derogatory way.

There’s definitely a difference in context. But it’s easy to decipher.

 

[mt terry d]

Cognitive dissonance is a more accurate term.

 

[Schmo]

This has been my understanding. I don’t use it for those who don’t agree with me. I use it for those who fail to be open minded to fact. The type that says elk should only be shot with a 300WM and larger. They are clearly denying a lot of evidence.

It's definitely "super duper douchey" to use a term like "fudds" to categorize and slander a group of hunters.

I can't believe those douchey flat-brimmers have the gall to do it.

The word "Fudd" has some serious knock down power!!

I feel the same about people that throw “douche” around.

Edit. Meant to say ha. All in good fun.

The formie fudds have even more with there fish net stocking

Hey that’s fine with me. It’s just a view point and opinion. Just like mine was. If anyone takes it personal and it upsets anyone, it was probably meant to.

 

[Southernfried]

Speaking of drop test etc, it is interesting, that more youtube "influencers" are starting to do drop test etc that @Formidilosus started doing on here. Now admittedly they dont go into the depths he does, but they are doing it, even the "new" or "renewed" owner of Thompson Center just compared a cvlife amazon scope for 30 bucks to a Leupold VX5-HD doing drop tests. Really no comparison really, but he did do a drop test from shoulder height 4 times on each one mounted to a TC Encore 308 and shot a box group to see if the turrets worked and rechecked zero. Of course the Leupold did better than the cvlife but still he laid it out there to see if either would hold up. TC drop test opinions will vary of course, but at least some are trying to weed through the chaff.

Hahahahahahaha true

Fair point. I probably read over that.

All good, no offense taken. Just offering my 2 cents.

I can see where JVB is coming from. He's apparently a very capable marksman and doesn't need a soft recoiling rifle to shoot well enough. And he likes having the ability to reach the vitals from any direction. It's a slight diversion in what each want to get out of a rifle that makes for a very different result. JVB even acknowledged a well respected moose guide that swore that the fastest kills came with a 220 Swift from the side. I think JVB's examples of failure mostly include poor bullet construction and/or too high of impact velocity. There's something about the more recent heavy for caliber bullets at moderate or slower impact velocities that are bucking the conventional wisdom.

I do think that if JVB and Form spent a hunt together and connecting in person they'd work through the nuance and agree on things much more than it may seem.

 

[WyldGoose]

This topic gets brought up on the newest Exo podcast, sounds like JVB is going to chat with Steve and Mark about the small bullet topic soon…

I had never heard of the term Fudd until I had seen it posted here on Rokslide last year sometime. Do people actually use it in real life speak?

Yes, unfortunately lol.

110% YES!! Guys that say things like "the lords caliber" and "9mm might expand but 45 don't shrink" and "TWO WORLD WARS!!" and just about any other "gun facts" like these are Fudds. I think it mostly started as tongue in cheek all in good fun. And then the Fudd's feelings got hurt.
