[QUOTE="26Reload, post: 1417054, member: 99519"] Humankind has arisen from the swamps to where we are today... In order to feed ourselves we fed upon the beast of the world...they(we) did as needed to survive...killed, stole, pilaged, raped and past along the gene pool... well..eventually things changed..grew a conscious, evolved(some did)..yet to survive humankind had to eat to survive..so killing became an everyday occurrence like any animal...animals that humankind could kill became more scarce..we changed methods...eventually everyday tools(rocks) were used, sticks, anything that could hinder an animal from escaping us...eventually bows, then guns...bows became extremely powerful as did guns...but they were useless unless we practiced the skill to use them and become proficient... today's equipment is leaps and bounds better and easier to learn to shoot..but lacking actual time of practice , or not learning proper shooting techniques cannot be overlooked even with the advances of today's bow and guns... I have respect for people that can go hunt their own foods in today's society..which is looked down upon by a great portion of the people that still believe that their meats come from a grocery store... any person pursuing an animal for a food source should know exactly where to shoot those animals...should have adequate equipment to do so....but most importantly is putting in the practice time in to become proficient of the use of the equipment..that is common sense... Sure...there is the occassional misplaced arrow or bullet..but every person has to know their personal limit or flaws in technique... and practice that much more to improve themself... Flaws in technique cause big problems...even at 10 yards... While I was bow hunting I used a ten foot target...ever tried to hit a dot created with a ballpoint pen at ten feet....great exercise in technique evaluation(just make sure you have sufficient target stopping power because my fancy $120 Block didn't stop several of my arrows before they hit sheetrock...in my garage)... The ethics mentioned earlier IS a standard a person has to decide for themself...or others if you are a husband/father or a person taking someone out for their first hunts...you base their ability upon their experience and make an ethical call....but experienced hunters get to make their own call....that's why we are whom we are... experience.... ....WE KNOW OUR LIMITS...
