If the new hunter can't shoot past 100 yards effectively, then I won't let him take a shot past that. If he can shoot effectively and consistently past 100, then I give him the full right to make that choice or not. Its all experience. If he decides to shoot at a deer past 100 yards and misses becausehe/she not yet a good shooter or because he/she tried to take a shot on a deer that didn't give him a good angle, then that hunter takes that experience home and into the woods the next time he/she hunts.
i would never disagree with that statement! if they have earned the right to shoot past 100 then ok, however since he doesnt even have a gun little own a mentor to coach him in person at this point in time it would be best if he kept it under a hundered. i hope he goes out and busts targets consistently at 200 yards, but its unlikely.
