same goes for the long distance bow shooters if they can cosistanly hit a two inch circle like most do at 20 yds...why not...
An Razor sharp tipped arrow at 80 yards from an adequate poundage tuned bow and your arrow at 20 yards ...both in heart...both are taken a dirt nap...
Its not for everyone...just like the rifle guys 1000-1200 but if they can do it efficently...power to them!!"

And then there is this one from you:
"OK ..I will start that mayhem... I shot my 327 bull elk last year at ........95 yards...I guesstimated 96yds..my buddy range finder-ed it at 95 yds...
Here is the thing thou...we walk 6 miles in ..hunt the morning and shoot all the way back to camp if slow...I pick a branch etc...he picks one...all the way back to camp
We shot ten to 150 yards for fun all the way back to camp...the morning before I was in the exact spot and shot at a burn pile at 100 yards..I hit it dead on.the bull the next day stood in front of that pile..I stood at the exact spot as the morning before...perfect lung shot..."

Yup guilty...but knew my equipment...and most importantly exact distance to target ...and practice shots from that exact point...I was 100% confident that the shot was efficent...same scenio that distance at unknown range ...would not shoot...
Wont shoot a rifle over 300 yds either....
