It doesnt matter who makes the shot, that just shows you how easy it is to do it at close range, now multiply that times 50. Are you trying to say archery hunters wound more game than rifle hunters? That is B.S. there are far more game wounded by guns than bows, a person has to get close to a animal to shoot it with a bow, you dont see road hunters using archery equipment, it takes a dedicated hunter to use a bow. Every idiot that can afford a gun can get close enough to a animal to sling lead at it, especially when they are shooting 500+ yards. The chances of making a poor shot drastically increases as the range increases, any one knows this. There are alot more variables to consider when shooting long distance. You have to have a extremely thin jacketed bullet to work at those distances or it will be like a solid, you use the same bullet up close and it will blow up on the outside of the animal. Like I said before, it doesnt take a hunter to kill a animal at 500+ yards, it takes a marksmen, with the right gear, the right conditions, and a little luck. It takes a hunter to get up close and personal with a trophy deer or elk. No amount of money can buy you the equipment to accomplish this. It simply amazes me that people were able to kill anything before they came out with all this new scent cover up, newest camo that you have to have, that changes every year, Barnes and Berger bullets, Tactical scopes, and ultra mags.

Nothing like taking the sport of big game hunting and turning it in to a prairie dog shoot.
