Will they show the videos of the other big game animals that were wounded because of poor shot placement (slight windage changes, exagerated bullet movement at extended distances) that end up with the animals traveling miles and possibly lost track of before they die?
Giving the impression that such long range shooting is something anyone and everyone can do in any circumstance is a bad thing. imo.
they may not have shown these but don't such things happen in all types of hunting. how many times have their been treads on here that talk about hitting a deer with a bow or even with a rifle and not finding the game animal. hunting is a situation full of variables. variables that can't be controlled.if you were to use this reasoning for not condoning long range hunting then i suppose you so will have to damn all bowhunters or anyone else who has lost an animal because of a slight miscalculation or unseen or unexpected problem. these things happen and are a fact of life of hunting. if you haven't lost a deer or some other animal yet while hunting good for you but one day your day will come.
furthermore about you comment on the 400 yard thread and the lack that most people don't have the equipment to do such a shot. clearly these people do. as shown they have custom rifles and all the equipment necessary.
