Ok, correct me if I'm wrong but I thought that the whole point to practicing was to get better, and therefore extend our effective range to the maximum of our potential.

If the top of my game is a 70 yard shot with tough wind, why not? I read somewhere of Howard Hill (or maybe it was Saxton Pope) shooting a running whitetail at 90 yards with a longbow, and I know Pope and Young took 80 yard shots on African hunts. What about Ben Pearson shooting ducks out of the air? Fred Bear's "hardest shot" was on a sheep that was partly obstructed by a rock, and Fred only pulled the bow a quarter of his full draw so the arrow would drop far enough once passing over the rock to hit the sheep (sorry I'm not as good of a writer as he was to paint the picture better).

There have been many people capable of making ethical long shots. These guys were archery legends, why can't this generation have it's bowhunting legends? It's not for the average guy, but I think most people get that. You may say "they shouldn't show it on tv because some novice will think it's ok to do it himself", but why hide thier skill? If these guys were making wounding animals it would be different, but they are making ethical kills here. Nothing to be ashamed of, and nothing the anti's can use against the sport. If someome decides that they can make 90 yard shots just by watching a show, then shame on them, but it's not the person on the video's fault that stupid people may watch the show. Ok, off my soap box now.
