Boils down to bullet construction, shot placement and know your limitations. The last being the toughest to adhere too. I could have shot a good bull with my bow last weekend however when it comes to hunting I will not take 60yard shots, on target I shoot much farther and accurately. Too much can go wrong in the field. The last thing I want to do is mame or lose an animal because I let my limitations get clouded by jealousy. Good luck
