ok steve bad news i killed more game with a bow then you ever will.I was PSAA champ for 3 years and on the PSAA team champ for 2 years.Till i lost my right eye and the use of my left arm i shot bow every day.I have never stuck a deer a lost it'how many did you' at 80 yards i can put 5 out of 5 in a pie plate can you do it at 40 yards?Come to pa and shoot we shoot from 7 yards to 80 yards
Being a PSAA champ like you say you are,,,i would think you would know better than to promote 60-70 yd shots with a bow at live game! I KNOW that those shots can be made and are made on a regular basis,,,done by guys that have great abilities and circumstances,,,,but i would not promote the average hunter to take those kinda shots
It's no different than promoting 600-700 yardshots with a rifle at deer sized animals.
Pats:
Im not quite sure of what reference your speaking of but,,,,yes im involved with that sort of activity too,,,I do not promote it to the average hunter in any way,,,actually i would barely feel comfortable about discussing such a topic on this message board because theres just too many guys with too many opinions to even have a rational long range hunting discussion
Taking a 80 yard shot at deer sized animalsis the same as taking a 600 yard shot at one with a rifle IMO. The level of difficulty is very high on both. You or I would notpromote that rifleshot to the avarage hunter, and I agree with you that the PSAA champ should not promote60 to 80 yardbow shots as the norm.
