[QUOTE="arthurj, post: 124214, member: 3718"] I used to stay out of the ethical discussions also, now I have realized it is hard to have a board like this without them. I am pretty disgusted with this though. A head shot at 150 yards is one thing, even 300, but 600 is another. I am sure there are a select few who could confidently make this shot, but I find it hard to believe that there many that can honestly say that they can hit a .5 MOA target at 600 yards 98% of the time. We're talking about a 3" circle, this doesn't mean a .5 minute rifle will do the job. The rifle would need to hold .25 MOA, 100% of the time and the shooter should be able to make wind calls accurate to .25 MOA. A 5 inch circle would be totally different, many can do that. With a target this small, miss the call 1" any direction and you've got a deer with its nose, ears, or jaw blown off that will die a slow and painful death over the next week. I just don't think this should be posted. As said earlier, this just gives the anti's more fuel for their fire. As for me I have more respect for these animals. Also, dont give me that BS about "you don't like long range hunting, then leave this forum." I love long range hunting, but this is where I draw the line between being a responsible long range hunter and an irresponsible long range hunter. [/QUOTE]
