We are gonna have to come to an understanding. I am as passionate about roundballs not being a choice for me as you are about bullying me into recanting my position. Just give up on it. I have a right to my opinion and I have a right to speak factually.
You really don't seem to have anyclue of the pont I wanted to make. We do not need to come to any understanding except to agree to disagree.I have never tried to bully you into anything but have only stated how my opinion differs from yours. There is a difference between stating facts and opinions.

Again I have never said roundballs were inneffective.
But you have strongly inferred it

I did say that roundballs are inferior to the other choices. I stand by that. I followed with several more posts which included statementsthat pointed out just how roundballs are inferior to other projectiles in the physical attributes the indicatea projectiles capabability for killing game. Fact is, the roundball finishes last in all these attributes.
Again, these are all opinions.By your own admission, you have onlyshot one deer, with one roundball and made a bad shot. Based on this experience, and with no knowledge of where and how I, and other users of roundballs, hunt, or what loads or rifles we use, you claim to be able to tell us the "facts". As I said before, none of your indicators mean squat in actual field use to those of us who know how to hunt with roundballs. Practical experience means much more than any other "indicators".

Having30 years of experience with the roundball, one would think that you could offer some guidelines on range, shot placement, and so on describing the limitations one must hunt with in orderto hunt ethically with a roundball. I would think they would have at least some scientific basis in fact instead being anecdotally supported.
I think if you did that. Youmay find I supported those guidelines and agree thatthis use of theroundball isethical and effective.
I would never expect someone to form their own opinions and maketheir choices based on my opinions or anything anyone would say in a public forum, such as this. This is where we seem to differ.If a person decides to hunt with roundballs, they must make that decision based on their own knowledge, dedication and skill. I can only offer personal opinions, based on personal experience, and would never be so presumptuous to claim my opinions are facts.
I will bow out of this because I've alreadymade my point as well as I can and it serves no purpose to continue this. It is unfortunate that you feel any disagreement with your position is "bullying" but your owndisagreement withother's positionsshould be considered as fact and accepted without question.
