here is the original and only post by Chuck (renfrowridge) in this thread

Half your posts are about God, then you come up with this:
"I stroke a 12 point last night I think I will put a gun with it and post it here. But just between us I shot with a crossbow at 85 yards pics to follow.
That would make you a liar, and quite a hypocryte.
The math behind a 85 yard shot is mind boggeling, apply a mature buck to that equasion and all that is left is BS.
could you please find me the post (they are numbered
) where Chuck mentioned "putting a gun with it"
don't get quiet on us now
as far the rest of you, try handing out some contructive critisim it would reflect on this whole group (hunters) more favorably, calling someone and idiot, assinine, liar, and stupid will not help anyone, myself i find it ironic that people that hunt with X-bows would call somebody else out on ethics to begin with (BTW, thats a Joke) < but see how easy that was
, i don't care what you hunt with as long as no game laws are broken...
as for the shot, can't really say, only shot a X-bow once in my life, wasn't for me, my cousin has one and i have never given him any crap about it, its legal here, so have at it...
as to why there are some post pointing to religion, this post originated in the religion forum, and was moved
, sorry your being subjected to this..
as far as range, i shoot what i'm comfortable with, my compound, i feel confident out to the 50 yard mark, i practice every day, do my own bow work, and am confident in my equipment, however other factors will dictate my shot distance, wind, tree's or an open shot, deer behaivior, light, with a rifle i'll shoot to 500+ yards, once again i practice at this range, and if i feel comfortable with the shot, its gone, now if i started doubting my abilities or questioning other factors i would adjust the distance i'd be willing to attempt the shot, with my pistol i have limited myself to 150 yards, again depending on conditions...
