Silent,

Other than condoning the shot, I think your response to Johnny was pretty darn good. Well said. I know that no person involved with hunter education here would condon that shot or use it as a positive example, and I'm thankfull for that.

If some of you don't think that a nonchalant move at 70 yards can create a disaster, think again. Saying that there is risk involved with all shots doesn't justify taking shots that inherently compound the risk factor. IMO

For those of you that use Fred Bear, Saxton Pope and others as justification for this type of shot I'd just say this. Just because somebody has done something, regardless of how famous they are, doesn't make it right.

Get Close.......& Shoot Straight
