I don't shoot em'.....just release fish with them! Boils down to convenience......wanna keep swapping out your crappy pliers every month or so, or have them so rusty when you are waist deep in water trying to unhook a fatty that you wind up getting a hook buried in your hand with the fish still attached because you were futzing around with your crappy pliers (on top of that you won't be able to cut the hook to get it easily out of your hand) then by all means.....do what you think is right!
