I've been a member of this forum for several years and, like most I guess, I log on and read/post mostly around the hunting season. One ofthe things I can count on is the great "after the shot thread" and a few of these that divide the hunters. What may or may not be a good shot to me might be a "chip shot" to you.

I practice at 50 yards with my bow. Do I shoot it at game? No, I can shoot 6 inch groups at a block but a deer has to much time to move even with my fast bow. Is it ethical? We must decide that ourselves. For me, practice at 50 turns my typical 15 yard shot into a more confident endevor.

Bottom line is this. Even if I don't feel like I should take a headshot it dosen't give me the right to tell you not to. We must police ourselves in order to not give PETA any more ammo than we already have. If we have a problem with whatever our fellow hunter is doing, IMHO only, we should discuss it with them in private. We all need an open exchange of ideas but let's keep the personal attacks against hunters private.

I know I'll probally get bashed myself but had to get this off my chest. Off my soapbox now.
