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 ?
Whether you are ethical or not, has nothing to do with which bow you choose. It has to do with the decision you make when the animal is out of your effective range, with whatever weapon you brought. If I bring a rifle that I'm effective with out to 300 yards, and I shoot at a deer at 400, then I'm not being very ethical. If I bring a self bow that I'm effective with out to 12-15 yards, and I never shoot beyond that, then I'm making ethical decisions. It's not the weapon, it's the decision you make when that trophy is just out of your effective range.
