To the bowhunters lets flip this around for a second. 20-30 is about what most call an average comfort zone much like 200 and under for the rifle shooter. Lets call this a fair comparison for debate. If you had an LRF reading of 50yards, perfect conditions, practiced and confident that you could makethe presentedbroadside shot...WOULD YOU TAKE IT?
Ifyes why?
If No, why not?
Pls include info of where you hunt, what, etc.The more info the better.
Heckeven rifle hunters chime inwhere, what,etc.

Should I throw you a party? You trying to win a case here or something? I gave my opinion, no need for you to debate with me. My God.

It would be backstraps on the grill that evening and a trophy on my wall.
This is a no-brainer.
Gun of choice would be my Browning A-Bolt 7mm Rem Mag with a handload of Nosler 140gr Accubonds.
But then again, my buddies and I all handload all our ammo, and we place 20 ounce pop bottles filled with water at 300, 350, 400 yards and kick back an bust 'em shooting off our backpacks for fun.
To all those who said to stalk closer you obviously haven't hunted flat-open country or out West.
