Well let me clarify in case there is any misunderstanding. I'm not bashing anyone that takes long shots. I'm not trying to come across as the "holier than thou" bowhunter[:-]. If taking long shots is your thing then by all means fire away. As long as you have practiced, you are consistently successful at those ranges, and it's legal then I have no problem with it.

I'm simply saying I could never see myself getting gratification from shooting an animal at 400 yards. Probably just the way I grew up and the type of hunting I've done all my life. Bow and shotgun only in my neck of the woods in NY. But for those of you that choose to hunt that way or have to hunt that way............... best of luck to ya and enjoy.
