[QUOTE="Capt. D, post: 1006272, member: 10225"] Its been known for a long time that the Eastmans have and do not endorse long range hunting, altough they don't seem to mind televising long range archery kills. Long range to some is something completely different to others. While some archers should not loose an arrow at a target past 20yds, others are completely capable of taking game to 60yds and beyond. I myself have taken white tailed deer to 80yds with archery equipment under perfect conditions; however in those days, being a competitive archer, I regularly practiced at 80yds and beyond. That being said, since I don't shoot archery much these days I wouldn't even consider a shot that far. Now considering the other side of the coin, some shooters should not let a bullet go at a target beyond 200yds while others are more than capable to taking game at 1000yds and beyond. Now I could turn this into a several page disertation but it all boils down to having the proper equipment, proper equipment set-up, knowing the capability of your equipment, knowing your own capablilities, and lots of range time. By putting the effort in, and determining your own maximum effective range, one method is just as ethical as the other. To practice one and to condem the other is hypocrisy at its best.gun)gun)gun) [/QUOTE]
