[QUOTE="Konrad, post: 834727, member: 26549"] I agree that in a closed “conversation” photos of this nature are acceptable and can even be very informative. I have seen numerous photos of scapulae, liver, heart and other bone tissue used as demonstrators for the effectiveness of various hunting broadhead designs. Those pictures are indeed valid and in many cases performing those experiments are required if one is to gain credible data on broadhead/arrow/projectile combinations. My fear lies in knowing how easy it is for data (pictures) to be accessed by those who would subvert intent and try to use them as propaganda tools against the hunting/shooting community as a whole. I would pray that if photos of this nature are being circulated, those folks creating and/or sharing them take care they do not let the pictures fall into the wrong hands. I have already gotten numerous comments on this missive posted on a few of the archery/bowhunting and firearms hunting web-sites. The overwhelming sentiment is “If you find the pictures offensive, you don’t have to look.” In my opinion this attitude is not only short-sighted but bordering on belligerent. In an age where one third of the population believes Americans should have their weapon access strictly limited (i.e. banned), throwing fuel onto the fire, branding hunters and shooters as violent barbarians intent on the destruction of themselves and others, is only furthered by pictures of Billy Bob grinning, holding a dripping organ and pointing to a gaping hole where a projectile recently passed through. I’m just hoping folks are a little smarter when they send these photos around and keep them off of social web-sites like Facebook. PS I just loved “…akin to dog fighting in back of the local PETA headquarters.”! I also have a Clint Eastwood collection and a 44 Magnum. K [/QUOTE]
