20 yards with a bow then shoot 40 yards with a bow
300 yards with a gun then shoot 600 yards with a gun

Both instances doubles the distance but I guarantee you there are more people shooting at 40 yards with a bow that shoud'nt be as compared to people shooting 600 yards with gun 100 fold. How many hunters do you personally know that shoot 40 yards with a bow and should'nt.

Take someone who has never shot either one and spend and hour on both, now after this time I can assure you that with a bow they will start hitting the deer "somewhere", hind leg, guts, tail. That same person with a gun will not come anywhere near the deer when you move it on out there. Now what is "ethical" the 40 yard higher percentage of wounding shot or the 600 yards probably not gonna get ANYWHERE close shot deer lives another day. I bow hunt 99% of the time and feel confident in my abilities and I wish I had the patience to be as prolific as RR is with a rifle.

Now some on here a flaming him but what if I told GMMAT that even though he spends ALOT of time shooting and learning from Rick James ETC that he is unethical for shooting past30 yards because he risks injuring the deer more so than at 20. He knows he can make that shot under the right circumstances. He will get pissed because he has alot of blood sweat and tears invested in his craft if you will. Now put yourself in RR's shoes and look at all the time, $, and practice he has and maybe you will see how he feels and the reason he left this thread and did not come back.

Tha names I choose are hypothetical and are made because we know what GMMAT is going through learning to shot his BT release.
