You know this is what makes me hate technology. The reason I do not rifle hunt very much anymore is because I chose to "close the distance" In my opinion if you want to shoot an animal at 100 yds. plus, then you need to pick up a firearm! There is no animal in this world that I want to RISK making a unethical shot on. The farther you are away from the animal the more your arrow will react to error. It's just not worth it. I Have taken 6 elk with bow and arrow, and countless Mule deer, and Blacktail with my bow. I have never shot past 40 yds. only one elk was further then 30 yds. If you want to shoot long range, keep it in the 3D range!

Ya know you don't HAVE to shoot that far with a gun. Hunt the same way you bow hunt, get close, it what I do!
