[QUOTE="Pdvdh, post: 1557748, member: 4191"] Some error in, and critique of, ADFG article. 1) Their Trophy Bonded Bullet construction description is incorrect. 2) Their closed statement most hunters should not shoot big game at distances past 200yds. No concession that bullet placement skill limits the range hunters should or should not shoot. This is the consequence of a Government-authored article, and of course we all are supposed to understand the Government knows best [except all the times they don't]. Some faction of any Government organization truly believes that. That faction simply cannot help themselves from preaching to the less blessed. 3) "Magnums and larger, more powerful, rifles aren't necessary to kill large animals", without ANY discussion of the benefit of the additional physical destruction per bullet fired from more powerful firearms. If a bear can kill the hunter in 5 seconds, shouldn't the benefits of quicker incapacitation and death caused by the added bullet energy at least be mentioned and offered up for reader consideration? Who's better informed on firearm lethality? Experienced hunters and big game guides? Or people that happen to be employed at ADFG, and write articles on behalf of ADFG. 4) They emphasize the importance of bullet placement, minimize the value of a more powerful firearm, and pooh pooh use of muzzle brakes. Muzzle brakes allow more powerful firearms to be shot with greater accuracy, by more hunters. Their use is a personal choice. Not a government restricted choice. An unbalanced presentation of information on muzzle brake use, IMO. No mention of hearing protection? That firearms without muzzle brakes damage hearing too? If a guide doesn't allow muzzle brake use, find one that does. Anyone shooting a firearm, or in the business of standing next to those shooting firearms, should be learned enough to wear some hearing protection. Electronic muffs and electronic in-the-ear plugs. Come out of the dark ages. The fees guides collect are enough to cover the cost of some hearing protection. Maybe it's the ADFG that's hard of hearing? Or with very selective hearing... [/QUOTE]
