You know what gets me is, everyone throws it back to "you don't want the newbies to think that is ok". Well you know what, if anyone newbie or otherwise, doesn't realize they shouldn't shoot at something that far; that friggn TV show ain't going to make the difference. How sad is that? Is that what the wave of new bowhunters has been reduced too? The bottom of the food chain? Are the newcomers to our sport really that stupid? If so what a sad day for human exitence. I see people blow **** up on TV all the time and I don't run out and do that. Every time someone does something the "Moral Majority" doesn't agree with it's "joe bowhunter" didn't need to see that. I feel sorry for "joe bowhunter" if he doesn't have any more gumption or common sense than to wander around aimlessly waiting on someone to define his every move. I started bowhunting on my own at age 14. No one ever taught me anything about it. I at no point in my bow hunting infancy ever thought I could take 70 yrd shots or head on shots so why would a grown man with any common sense think it would be acceptable for him to do so. At some point don't individuals have to start taking responsibility for their own actions?

Protect your hunting rights, "Spay or neuter a liberal."
