I was privileged to be part of a team selected from the Army Reserve Shooting Team that were asked to conduct Designated Marksman training for deploying members of 2nd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne Division, based in Fort Bragg.
The 504th PIR could have requested training from a host of sources but ultimately chose to go outside the active component and chose competition shooters on the USAR Shooting Team. Here’s the story:

A decent revolver of adequate size (.357 Magnum is on the bottom of that list) is more than capable enough to take deer-sized game efficiently. The problem is if the hunter-shooter has the marksmanship chops to pull it off.
Sheriff Jim Wilson Makes Big Claims

Sheriff Jim Wilson publicly makes some big claims. We will hold him to this as he is a “name” in the gun industry publishing world.
Might be, if IPSC and PPC would get more practical & realistic folks would be more inclined to participate. And I am available to consult with either organization to improve their game plan.
He is “available to consult” so this must mean he has tangible ideas on how to raise participation. We will spread the word when he writes up his ideas and publishes them.
We are eager to hear how the good Sheriff would advise IPSC, USPSA, IDPA, NRA and other organizations to get more practical and realistic as a push to raise participation.
