Default RE: ethical shots

there is no such thing as an ethical 60 yard shot on a whitetail that can drop at over 700 ft/sec. way too much can go wrong on whitetails on a bowshot at 60 yards and I don't care how tight you can group, it is simply a BAD SHOT to take!! i guess i take pride in the sport and respect the animal too much too risk any marginal shot taking, especially one at 60 yards. BIG game are different, like elk, caribou and moose, a 60 yard shot isn't advisable but can be ethically taken due to their delayed reaction time compared to deer. you just shouldn't risk taking a 60 yard shot on deer, bad choice!
