No, the rifle has so much more range than just an additional 15/20 yds. Nowhere near equal.

I will buy a trad bow Jeff, soon. I will practice with it religiously until I am good. I will kill a deer with it next season if the shot presents itself. I did this with my compound. I did it years ago with a shotgun. I did it years ago with a rifle. I will do it with trad bow. You, of all people know how hard it is to get a good buck in compound bow range and pull off the shot successfully. Right? So, until those posting pictures of their "other" kills, get better and use equip. harder to harvest animals with, with should just put them in the corner forum labeled "unaccomplished hunters". BS

Equal accomplishments means 2 deer on the ground. Equal proficiency with each weapon and tactics.

Elitism, you are right, says "I did it with this, and that is harder than what you did with yours". In essence, by me not allowing someone else to brag, in "my" forum, I am saying the one accomplishment is less or does not belong.(Derogatory)
