Arthur,

I don't know man. Personally, I think I'm going for that half step forward or sidewaysto clear the obstruction in front of me. I do not like guess work. I want to see the animal's vitals 100% or I'm not shooting. It goes hand in hand with "know your backstop". Who's to say a fawn isn't standing right in front of its mother. You'll never know until it's too late if you encourage shots like that. Flattery suits me fine.

Schultzy,

I totally respect your hunting stlye and your opinion. I am sure, like me, you wish you had $10 for everytime someone told you "you can't".More than likely, you would have a ton of dough in your hands! Can I ask you a question though? Why do you shoot a 73# bow and not a 35# bow? If nothing seems to matter, then both should be equally effective on wildlife.

The point I'm trying to make is simply this: (we are beating a dead horse) 1) Each of us has an obligation to do our very best while in the feild. 2) Each of us has an obligation to use that equipmentwhich is most suited for item #1. 3) Each of must must practice to become proficient with Item #2 so that we can fulfill item #1. 4) If we take Items 1, 2, and 3 seriously, then our freezers tend to stay full. 5) There's a lot that goes into Items 1, 2, and 3. Much of which will have an individual basis the rest of us cannot control.

Find your own solutions, have fun, and let us hear the stories andsee the pictures!
