[QUOTE="lloydsmale, post: 1037507, member: 41442"] and I suppose you consider yourself one of them. How do you even know what my skill level is. I never once even touch on the ability of someone to actually hit the deer. My argument is its very lacking in retained energy when it does. I could care less about shooting paper targets at a 1000 yards. Im not a sniper. Im a deer hunter who shoots a lot of deer at long range. I have never even shot at a target farther then 600 yards because I have no need to. that some military sniper can make a hit with a 308 at a 1000 yards on an enemy solder has not a bit to do with using the same gun to ethicaly take a deer. The deer is not your enemy and isn't going to fight back. So why even take a chance it will suffer. Why don't you take a gun out actually hunting deer and learn something.

It was my goal to cleanly harvest those deer as humanely as possible not to prove I was so good I could accomplish it with a less powerful gun then someone else.
