[QUOTE="TheSollyLama, post: 177952, member: 9611"] The article I wrote was just meant to be general. Since it's not in response to any one article or attack, I couldn't make specific counter points. We can certainly break down any specific attack. This was just a general article. As for starting off with my limited mobility- I avoided that because it immediately makes the article about me. Also, that is sort of cherry picking one extreme circumstance. The point is to make long range hunting acceptable for all hunters that take the time and invest in quality equipment. Not just 'excuse' it for cripples. I rather liked the brush busting comparison specifically because it is something very commonly done, but runs a higher risk of that "what if" effect than putting lead through alot of empty air. Alot of the anti-long range hunting arguments revolve around "what ifs" that increase over distance. Pointing out that distance doesn't add anymore of those 'what ifs' than the kind of hunting. We could just do up a point by point debunking of specific arguments. Just list arguments against and their counterpoint. That would be a good sticky for the general forum as reference material.
