[QUOTE="jessej, post: 2408623, member: 24557"] Need? Absolutely not. Want? Yes. Long range hunting. Do we need to shoot elk or lopes or deer at 800-900-1000+ yards? No. I’d wager that 99.9 percent of every one of those shots could have easily had the distance cut in half. Back when I rifle hunted, I spent half a morning trying to get farther away from a muley and still have a good shooting position. Now let me say, everything you said has a lot of merit. And the closeness of bow hunting is why we do it. But occasionally I still like to long range hunt. And in the thick woods of south Mississippi, it’s waaaaay easier to long rang bow hunt. We just don’t have the terrain for much LR rifle hunting. I’m makin 109 lbs of KE with a .641 momentum factor. Tip. I’m seeing much less wind drift with very aggressive helical fletchings. At 100 yards I don’t even consider my drift leaving white vitals until 8 mph 90 degrees. Straight vanes with broadheads are a nightmare in wind. [/QUOTE]
