What if someone says they can? Not being argumentative.....just asking.

RE: ethical shots
 

An ethical shot is one the shooter is reasonably sure he can make a clean, quick kill. Period. That goes for distance, shot selection, placement, timing, the whole bit.

Yeah........I'm pretty sure I can't. But i bet there are people who can, more power to 'em

RE: ethical shots
 

I just wanted to know how many think they can, I am not judging them for it. More power to them

RE: ethical shots
 

I could make an ethical shot on a 3D target at 60 yards but not a real deer to many things could go wrong.

i feel if the condition was right iCOULD ethically take a deer at 60 yards...actually out to 65 yards would be my max right now

RE: ethical shots
 

i grouped the 60 yarder, no i couldnt do it again, it was luck, however i can get in the vitals consitantly at 60, but its a still target... a real deer moves, if the deer had no idea i was there,head was down grazing, had plenty of time in an open place i might take a shot at 60.

With enough practice at 60 yards I dont think it is out of the question. If someone is confident and has practice it then more power to them.

I would not think it was an ethical shot if it was taken by someone who never attempted the shot before.

If everything was just right I know I could.But just because you can doesnt mean you should.IMO
