It's no different than promoting 600-700 yardshots with a rifle at deer sized animals.

Being a PSAA champ like you say you are,,,i would think you would know better than to promote 60-70 yd shots with a bow at live game! I KNOW that those shots can be made and are made on a regular basis,,,done by guys that have great abilities and circumstances,,,,but i would not promote the average hunter to take those kinda shots

Im not quite sure of what reference your speaking of but,,,,yes im involved with that sort of activity too,,,I do not promote it to the average hunter in any way,,,actually i would barely feel comfortable about discussing such a topic on this message board because theres just too many guys with too many opinions to even have a rational long range hunting discussion

Yes more deer are unrecovered in archery because nearly all deerneed to be blood trailed unlike when using a high powered rifle

Do you have any kind of facts to support that statement? Some kind of a survey or something? I highly doubt that 250,000+- bowhunters can leave more unrecovered deer laying in the woods than 900,000+- firearms hunters. Winter and springshed hunting forays tell me that.[:-]

Is the problem the ability of an archer to hit a target as in a proficiency test or is it poor judgement when determining what shot to take? BTW, I don't know the answer , but i thought it was an interesting question.

First off the person that said religious groups/farmers and such don't want Sunday hunting . GOOD FOR THEM don't HUNT on Sunday.
1 why should a religious group be able to say if I can hunt on sunday. Can i say they cannot go to church on sunday
2 i know about 40 farmers not one of them have a problem with sunday hunting. THose that do simple dont allow hunting on there farm on sundays. Why can a farmer tell me what i can do on my private property
That is the problem with this country these days . IF it doesn't suit them then it should be illegal and that my friends is totally and utterly bull patties. And that's not just hunting it is the mindset of this country anymore
people get offended by radio or tv simple change the stinking dial wtf has this country turned into a bunch of baby's . Sorry bout the rant
BB in some cases it is the both or either one some are not proficient some have poor judgement and some cannot find their way back to there car let alone tr ac a blood trail.
