[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 890366, member: 10291"] I am in agreement with many of the previous posts in that I see nothing wrong with the video. I think it's a true representation of what happens with our sport. The reaction to long range hunting is quite similiar to the appearance of the compound bow back in the seventies. It took quite a few years for some factions of the bowhunting community to accept it. Some chose to stick with traditional equipment, but the coexistence of approach was understood and eventually excepted. It took time and education. Long range hunting and the equipment used is disrupting the traditional practices. Those who are proficient in LR hunting know that success is a function of knowledge and practice. We should not temper what we see as educational and a componet of success in our sport. As to what is depicted in videos, most of us know what's acceptable and what is not whether the hunting is at 100 yards, or 1000 yards. The LR sport is already in the process of being accepted. We can already see the mainstream publications producing articles and reviewing rifles and equipment used for LR Hunting. I think any intelligent person that digs into this site can easily see that long range hunting is viable, but to be successful, you have to commit to a whole new level of equipment, knowledge, and skills. Some will, some won't, and some can't. This shouldn't hamper us. LR hunting is here to stay! IMO. [/QUOTE]
