[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 218123, member: 2011"] Hmmmmmm, I seem to think a different than most but here goes anyway. I don't think that there is such a thing as an unethical shot. Bear w/me here... There are dumb/stupid and other adjectives that may be applied to the shot but the implementation of "ethical" is incorrectly used. It's the results that are "unethical". I don't shoot at big game any farther than I have shot at paper under similar conditions. If I am not comfortable/confident of hitting where I desire I wait or try to create a better opportunity. All of my LR targets are kill zone size for a deer or elk. The closer I can hit to the center of the target the better for game such as yotes. I agree more with Ridge Runners post on this one as he described the process very well. 5 to 6 minutes to make the LR shot is a fair estimate of the time it takes. Rushing that time tends to increase the opportunity for an "unethical" hit. Every once in awhile something will go wrong. Those times should result in complete surprise. Also a complete miss on a LR shot on big game is a major relief. Especially when one can rethink the steps and find the error. [/QUOTE]
