Default RE: Do you take this shot?

Would you be happy with that group at 15 yards minus the 2 drifters? I wouldn't be but thats me.
EXACTLY! you gotta be kidding me, sorry bro but that is ridiculous to think you can shoot that far. Heck a deer could take a step or two in that amount of time. If you can't hit deer vitals 100% of the time target shooting, you are shooting from too far. A persons range should end when their 100% accuracy at vital sized area ends.

I realize you got into target archery big and all, but it won't be pretty if you carry that mindset into the woods. You may be the best foam killer in the world, but an 80 yard shot on a living animal, a deer sized animal no less, is crazy.

We aren't talking caribou, moose, or elk here, that have lungs the size of suitcases. I am reaching for the camera if I see he wont come closer. Actually, I would turn to my hunting partner and excitedly whisper "are you getting all this?!?!" as the red light is blinkin.
