[QUOTE="Alfred Crouch, post: 278879, member: 13464"] The Preacher, Only the poster knows whether he is lying or not. The only thing any one with just a little experience with a 22 rifle and a little judgement can be certain about is the fact that this thread is very short of cows and very long on bull. Because of gravity and wind a 22 rimfire is capable of only so much range and so much accuracy. Beyond that the bull creeps in. [U][B]and[/B][/U] ...... I feel that every hunter should have ethics enough to have reasonable expections of making a clean and humane kill when he pulls the trigger. Any and every animal worthy enough to be used as a target desrves that much respect. That means the gun used should be capable (with enough power and enough inherent accuracy) and the shooter should be capable (with enough experience gained on targets) to have[B] reasonable[/B] expectations of making a clean kill when the shot is made on an animal. If we don't do this we as hunters are earning the disrespect and wrath that anti hunters love to dish out on us. Is this asking to much of us as [B]hunters[/B] or are we just care free [B]shooters[/B]? I don't mean to be dumping on any one in this thread. I have been guilty of shooting at animals beyond my cability and/or the capability of my equipment at times during my younger years so I am not implying that I am any better than anyone else ....but this is something we need to think about, isn't it?
