RE: Mechanical BH-75% failure rate!!!!!!!
What is it with hunters that when something happens that just isn't explainable to normal train of thought, the person gets jumped on or called a liar etc. I had an experience with a peice of equipment and everybody thought I was making excuse for poor shooting skills,etc. Well many of the guys who basically said "I don't believe you", know that I can shot as good and in some cases better than them on a daily basis. However the refused to believe my accounts, well finally the manufacturer of this product agreed and warrantied the defect...than they just quietly said "Nothing"!
I for one thing it is good to here about product short comings, failures what ever you want to call it. I will also say if it is a rare case it probably won't effect my decision but it does open up thought about all equipment and the possibility of failure.
As to unethical and head shots. Just b/c you or I wouldn't do it on a yote, why do we have to sit perched on our limbs like ravens at a kill....just waiting to peck? If CG was shooting at deer, elk, turkey whatever than maybe some slap up or gut check is required but he clearly indicated it was a shot he would never attempt on anything that is considered a game animal. I am willing to bet almost all of us have taken a risky shot and had good and bad results.
CG, did a fine job in not bashing any one or even the product he felt failed. However some post weren't so kind and respectful to him!
JMHO
Be safe and have a great season!
