[QUOTE="Gcan, post: 1605041, member: 102867"] Thanks. I’m going to rant now: Please forgive me. I missed that part of the video. So all the 6.5 proponents who cheered the shot that dropped and killed the poor critter as evidence of 6.5 credibility really only ensured he suffered more while F-troop marched 600 yards (20 min) hi-fiving and glad-handing only to pump a few more into him, while certainly making certain they didn’t damage the skull or skin? Makes me sick. If that video doesn’t make anyone else sick they are part of the problem. When I bow hunted RI they had a test before you could get a bow lic. You had to shoot a deer target and put 3 broadheads into a small kill area at 20 yards. You put one out, you failed. It’s a shame we can’t all hold ourselves to those same standards with rifles. I can’t tell you how many times a guy has shown up at the range in his cammo and his $2500 kung-fu rail-gun Super X7-U2-47 space/man magnum-HUNTING rifle with a $3000 interstellar huble 59 power scope with the swiss army knife lens covers and starts winging lead at the 800 yard target. I’ve asked many, “how did you break in that barrel” or “how many moa up are you from your zero”, or “where is your zero” or my favorite, “how many moa are you for a full value 10mph wind @ 50”. Only to hear, “Oh I just hold right or left” 5 times out of ten its just the deer in the headlight stare. Then they bring in the human silhouette target with 5 hits, one in each corner and one near the navel which they photograph and text off to their equally stupid friends. And we let them hunt. This video is exactly the garbage the antis will put in their next save the whale campaign or anti-gun, anti-hunting fund raiser. I’m ashamed and sad for us all. [/QUOTE]
