[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 3075202, member: 99519"] Not really a 'reality comparison'.... I've taken many elk and deer with a bow....more elk with a rifle....but a 'lethal shot is a lethal shot' be it a rifle or a bow... I've seen a huge bodied elk fall to an arrow within seconds...and watch a big elk fall to a 22-250...I've also watched elk walk away after being shot behind the shoulder with rifles only to lose them in tracking.....I've wounded one bull with an arrow...buried from straight on at 20yds...and recovered another from same shot at 6'....it traveled 300yds to fall over in a log pile off the side of a landing(upside down between logs).... The knowledge for oneself of being well prepared to shoot a bow or rifle at a maximum self imposed distance is where 'we as hunters and outdoorsman & women' are the conservationists of today hunting.....if we all started flinging arrows and throwing bullets at critters that may be wounded and not be recovered..we are no longer conservationists....
