[QUOTE="Punisher, post: 1003549, member: 76832"] i am in full agreement. i may not take deer at a mile, but learning this tehnology and technique has made shots at 4-500 yards an absolute. in good conditions, i made a great 630 yard shot on a doe, and then immediately took another at 452 one it stood up. both shots were placed perfectly. as humans, we naturally respond negatively to everything we dont fully understand. that is human nature. if you think about this, you will begin to notice your own bias towards new ideas. as developed and intellectual humans, we have begun to value and embrace new ideas and technology. if you were at work and your boss asked why you chose to not implement an upgrade in technology that your competitor now uses to out compete your product, would you respond "because it was new and i dont want to understand it?" if you did, you would lose your job. imagine if we taught all of our children how to shoot at long ranges. wounded game incidents would derease exponentially, we would have a defensive edge over all other civilized countries and they could develop a sense of acomplishment and engagement in an activity. how are any of these not what we value as hunters? i can tell you this, B&C has lost my support until they learn to accept and embrace these values as completely as i do. whether their individual opinions on "ethics" vary from mine, or not. i myself used to be only a primitive bowhunter because it brought me the level of challenge i was seeking. having mastered those techniques in a short time, i took some 44 deer in half a dozen states with a recurve i made, over a period of 7 years. but then, i traveled, learned and began to enjoy learning new things that i was previously emotionally closed to understanding. i regret B&c's stance, i hope their leadership can see the ignorance in their approach and retain some solidarity within the hunting community.
