[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 1866643, member: 879"] Len, I'm glad you posted your reason for starting this forum. I don't get many truly long range shots where I hunt in Arkansas, but I take it seriously. I have noticed that the folks on this forum are much more serious and willing to do all the work necessary to make clean kills and recover every animal shot. I practiced at longer ranges than I was likely to get a shot, so when the opportunity came to take a shot at an 11-point buck, I was confident that I could do it and did. I have recovered every animal I have ever shot with a rifle and wish to continue that streak as long as I am able, God willing. I have lost deer that I hit with a crossbow and it has taken me years to get over it and become confident hunting with a Crossbow again. But now that is good as long as I stay within my practiced limits. But I thought I should commend everyone on LRH for being much more conscientious and much more skilled hunters than the average "Joe deer hunter" out there who often look down on anyone who would even consider taking a shot over 300 yards. Part of their disdain for Long Range Hunting is that they know in their own hearts that they don't have the skill or self-discipline to make shots at much of any distance at all and because they can't do it, they assume no one else can. Or maybe they just hate it because someone else can and they can't. I also appreciate you making this forum a clean, family friendly place for respectful discussion without a bunch of trolls ruining it. Thanks much, Len [/QUOTE]
