single shots

[Str8shooter]

Hi guys -

Catching up on some older posts, I stumbled across this one.

There is no doubt in my mind that a single shot weapon can take game. In ancient times a rock did the trick from a sling. A question arises that makes me curious so help me out here please. If given the option of venturing out with a single shot or a weapon with more capacity, don't you think it is more sportsmen-like to choose the latter? Too many factors can add into the equation against dropping prey with one shot or successfully tracking it down. It seems to be more humane to have a back-up shot at the ready, just in case.

Your thoughts please.
