This thread is approaching lunacy.

Mr. Snook here has had the oportunity to invent something, market it, use it and ultimately, he was posting that his invention was successful. To that I say Congratulations NickSnook. You have created a successful product.

As to the head / neck / spine shot argument -- as archers, we have the responsibility to make ethical kills and promote the sport in an ethical manner. As previously stated, I would not take a head / neck / spine shot, nor would I allow someone hunting on my property to do so. However, Mr Snook successfully used a product to shoot a deer. He killed the deer. Perhaps it was lucky, perhaps it was skill, but the point of this whole post was that he used a Turbo Nock to successfully arrow a living animal.

BobCo: I agree completly with you. I think hunters need to be educated as to how to ethically kill an animal. Note I did not use correctly. You can correctly kill a deer by dropping a bowling ball on its head. Not ethical, but the deer is dead... I, for one, would like to see more rampant hunters education in order to educate hunters. But you can't force your views on them when you aren't there monitoring what they are doing on private land. Perhaps a different thread should be started along these lines to open up a discussion as to how to better teach ethical hunting.

Rob: I appreciate you stepping in when this thread was taking a negative turn. Having been a member here for around a month, I tend to notice that sometimes people's opinions tend to overshadow the purpose of the thread. This really doesn't accomplish anything.

And now, as this post is becoming off topic, happy hunting to all!
