Default RE: Another T.V. Show Mistake!!!

Nope! I am not recommending that anyone go out and take 70 shots. What I am recommending is that everyone know their limitations and that they stay within those limitations and then take personal responsibilty for them. It would be unethical for me to shoot at a whitetail at 40 yards but for others it would not. I can say with a great degree of certainty that George can hit the 10 ring more consistently at 70 yards than I can at 25 yards. Regardless of anyones opinion the man took a shot he knew he could hit and then he did exactly that. Ask Chuck Adams how many of his animals have been taken at 50 + yards.

Now let me ask you, do think that a child assumes that it is safe to go out an flip a car because he saw it on TV. However, it is perfectly safe for a stunt man to do so. Everyone has to learn at some point that there is a double standard in life. Just because you see someone else do something doesn't mean that you can do it too. That's is why most of watch football on Sunday instead of play.

PS If anyone outthere is planning on their kids learning the Do's and dont's from a bowhunter ed class they are sadly mistaken. Just like most everything else in the world the way you learn to be a "Bowhunter" is through experience and if you're lucky a good teacher.
