The law is an ass, that will not change in a hurry I'm afraid.
The problem is that it has to cater for the lowest common denominator. For example, you and I would use a hmr or rimmie between the ear and eye of most creatures at sensible ranges, but theres always a fool who will try an engine room shot on a red deer at 200 yards with a .22lr sub.
Stuck with it I'm afraid.
But chin up mate and enjoy your shooting, warts and all
