Well...maybe those afflicted with amblyopia don't make such bad hunters
after all.
I too suffer from this impairment, but I was big-time archery champion
at my highschool and damned good at target practice with guns as well.
Pretty good at hunting too, except for getting sentimental and feeling
compelled to do a funeral whenever I kill something.
