chap, you are still not getting it. I consider the statement above a half truth. In fact, there is context where your conclusionis downright false. If using a powbelt is unethical, then using a roundball is unethical, or using a bow is unethical based on the same arguments you and hank are positing. That's simply ludicrous. Bullets, roundballs, and arrows don't have ethics. Hunters have ethics. It up to an individual to learn to hunt ethically. There are PB users, I am sure, who would take issue with the ethics of taking less than ideal shots because of bullet one has chosen. Likewise you can't make the choice of placing a PB properly a subject of questionable ethics for them.
