[QUOTE="Broz, post: 985081, member: 7503"] I am in full agreement with this. The LRH community has worked hard for years, honing and tuning a set of ethics and morals more honorable that I personally have ever seen held by any other group of hunters. That is something to be proud of. The uneducated misconception from the "I don't do it that way so I don't like it" crowd, that we are just taking pot shots at distance needs to be educated. It is time we make them fully aware of the effort we put forth to insure accuracy and shooting skill is impeccable. Not only with our take of game at well over 500 yards, but also that the take of game at 100 yards is done with precision that no group of hunters this large as a whole have ever progressed to. Never before has there been a group of hunters that better understood what "My effective range" means. Taking game properly at distance has produced better skills that have proved to produce more well placed bullets and one shot humane takes of game than ever before. Only those that don't truly know would deny this. Or those who choose to down play precision hunting at distance because they feel some sort of threat from it to their personal chosen methods of take. Then there will also be the group of authors that will do whatever for controversy to attract reader count. What ever happened to the days when an author was held to a level of professionalism where he was required to gather an unbiased statement of facts from both sides of an issue?? A lost art for sure I say. I have read and reread the article in mention. It is poorly written and the thought of " an occasional long range shot is ok" just shows the author is either uneducated in what it takes to execute a precision shot at distance. Or he is trying to hold his group of old school together by condoning the "I held 14" over his back and hit him" club of yesteryears. We do indeed need to bring forth our skill set and what it is truly like to produce precision well placed shots for the take of game at distance. Also how the game animal suffers less as it and the rest of the herd is not terrified by the percussion of a magnum rifle shot inside 100 yards like a bomb going off in your own home when you least expect it.
