Based on the responses over "there", I'm starting to think that the basher's must have had their behinds kicked and humiliated when put up against someone that can actually shoot a Sigma well. That is the only reason that I can think of for all the hostilities.
A story...
Imagine, here comes the club pro shot, wins all of the local, fun matches, hardly ever misses his mark. Then, in walks a guy with the lowly Sigma in tow. Shoots on par with pro guy and offers pro guy a try. Pro guy shoots most everything low at 30' and proclaims the "Truth", "the Sigma is no good" Then it is written in the books and goes down in history. The end.
Yikes!
They seem to want to fight to the death to proclaim that the Sigma is trash and not worth having. This, with the few supporters there to claim tales of victory (pleasant experiences) with one. It's like arguing with the L-cubed! (That's liberal, leftists, loonies, by the way).
They must spend a lot of their time sittin' on that fence.
