Comparisons

[Don McDowell]

Was doing some reading last night and I got to wondering. When we look back at the great shooters of the early Creedmoor days, while their accomplishments were large, how would they really stack up today?
The difference in equipment they were allowed to use by rule is vastly different from what we use now. The sights have changed greatly.
So is it possible that todays perennial top contenders ( Gullo, Wasserburger,Youngberg, Terry ,Ahmer, Rix , etal) are the same caliber of riflemen or maybe even better than the men we look back on ?
But even what makes me wonder more, is will there be future generations to look back on the accomplishment todays riflemen achieve?
