[QUOTE="jmden, post: 1058149, member: 1742"] Well, for comparison, you can read this article and responses from Eastmans Hunting Journal: [url=http://blog.eastmans.com/long-range-shooting-whats-your-intent/]Long Range Shooting- What’s Your Intent? | Eastmans' Official Blog | Mule Deer, Antelope, Elk Hunting and Bowhunting Magazine | Eastmans' Hunting Journals[/url] and see what a cross section of hunters seem to think about long range hunting. Many hunters and others who oppose long range hunting oppose it because they don't believe it's hunting. Their reasons have nothing to do with ballistics and how well you can shoot and how well you may know your science and equipment. The above article in the first post by Richard Mann is right on in saying exactly what needs to be said and in the right way. The 'science' answer is the easy part of the answer to give to someone who's asking. Problem is articles like Eastmans posted and the constant negative writings about long range hunting of folks like Wayne Van Zwoll, Boone and Crockett Club and clearly now the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, divides hunters instead of uniting us against the much bigger fish we have to fry. (Zwoll is very active in both these organizations. Recent Presidents Message in 'Bugle' magazine from RMEF has the president clearly citing Zwoll for some of this.) It's a very short sighted and poor strategy to divide hunters against each other (and passions run high on the subject) when we need to be more united than ever and not 'sniping' at each other. Very dissapointed in Zwoll, RMEF and B&C. I may pull my RMEF membership, they are so over the top on this. With nearly every issue of Bugle, I've seen it coming for some time. Zwoll has gotten particularly bad with this lately with typically at least one sideways swipe, often more, in nearly every article he writes in Bugle. I very much am starting to sense an elitist, 'controlist' attitude in regards to those who might shoot further than these people or organizations above think they should. [/QUOTE]
