I'm a bird hunter. Anything over about 45 yards for me is out of range. And I defintely do not have distinct advantage. The birds are faster than me, hear far better than me, and its pretty common that they outsmart me! I even have a dog and these birds still get away more than they end up in my vest.

When I'm fly fishing, sometimes I have to crawl on my belly to sight cast to unsuspecting trout. How is that more sporting than hunting?
