Default RE: hearing mixed fealings about the 30-30

I have taken deer about 100 yards with it. as long as it hits that heart or youdon't hit high, the deer will die.

But even at 100 yards, there's not much damage in the deer, and very small blood trails. If I had a choice of shooting a deer at 30 yards with a bow, or 200 yards with a 30-30, I would pick the bow hands down every time.

I know some are saying thats not a fair comparison. I am 100% sure I can connect with both, and have alot with a bow. But for some reason, when I get both lungs with a bow, they don't go more than 80 yards and lay down. But I have seen way too many times a high lung shot with a 30-30, and they go for ever.
