I don't disagree but I wouldn't underestimate the distraction of just conversing with shooting buddies. When i shoot alone i have an almost rhythmic adherence to shooting protocols, the steps involved in shooting a muzzleloader. I'm thinking about it, not politics or our families or the guy in the shooting stall next to mine. That singular focus is probably why I've never dry-balled. But.
Shooting with friends or a group by definition means my attention is spread around, my focus diminished. For me the cell phone isn't even in the picture.
Just my own experience.
That's a very good point but come to think of it, I've never shot a muzzleloader with a friend! Very rarely have I done any practice (shooting) with a friend at all! I generally do these things alone because I never had that many friends that enjoyed shooting or hunting to the degree I did.
