[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 728098, member: 30902"] The girl in the video segment isn't the problem. She didn't have a clue what she was doing. It was the producers of the piece that should have known better. You can kill a grizzly bear with a .22lr if you stick it in his mouth and pull the trigger but it'd be damned irresponsible to encourage people to use them. The .243 simply isn't "enough gun" at that range for an elk since it requires absolute precision shot placement in order to get the job done and the responsible thing to do on that show would have been to say so. Our sport is under attack from many angles constantly and encouraging people to go after large or dangerous game ill equipped is just stupid and irresponsible and bad for the sport. [/QUOTE]
