Default RE: Do we "owe" it to anything/anyone to be accurate shots ?

hmmmmmmm

Which is better ...

compound - 45 yard accuracy to the tune of 5" groups
crossbow - 30 yard accuracy to the tune of 5" groups
longbow/recurve - 15 yard accuracy to the tune of 5" groups

I know, as long as I stay within my effective range, right ? But we all KNOW when you're afield, and a 150" P&Y stud buck comes along wokring a scrapeline, you aint thinking "oh damn, that buck is 16 yard, 1 yard outside my effective range" - right ? And practice, in your confort zone, on a range or in your backyard groups aint going to be 2 hours motionless, in your cold tree stand shooting - right ?

So theoretically, I'd be more "ethiccal" and would be doing "our sport" better by going with equipment that allows me to put arrows - a higher % of the time - where I want them to go.

Right ?
