Long shots at any game are NOT the way to hunt with any type of equipment. If you can't get close enough to ensure as close as possible to a 100% chance at a kill, then don't shoot! Use the fixed blade and don't shoot any further than you know you can put the arrow in a pie plate no matter what the weather conditions are!
PS: You question itself is definitely an ethics question and you got correct answers whether they are what you wanted to hear or not!
