I am a Bowhunter that Loves to shoot and experiment with all sorts of equipment.

As a Bowhunter my objective is to Kill the Game I am after by any legal means. Everyone should always know their range limitations and stay within that effective range. I have killed Big game with Trad gear, and with Compounds. I have killed Game at ranges from 3 yards to 84 yards, although my average kill shot for over a hundred animals would be under 20 yards I am sure.

Many things determine an unethical shot besides how many yards that animal is from you, and unfortunately many animals are lost every year due to an unethical shot that was attempted at under 25 yards.

I started Bowhunting with the object of reaching my personal goals and will continue to hunt for those reasons. I think target archery is Fun and everyone should try it. If I lived in an area where there were more opportunities I still might shoot for Fun. A long trip to go shoot somewhere gets old and takes $$. Especially when I can get together with a group of guys and shoot in the back yard up to 100 yards if we want to.
