Default RE: Bowhunting and ethics.

I guess my issue with the long shots comes down to this. Many people on here have stated "It was a perfect shot at 15 yards and I missed. I don't know what happened." If you have missed at 15 or 20 yards for no fathomable reason, how much more that chances that you will miss at 50 or 60 yards? It just goes to reason that increased real estate between you and the animal and increased time for the arrow to reach its target will increase the possibility of something going wrong.
