You just stay within your comfort zone and leave others to theirs.
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

If (a big if) his arrow is traveling at 300fps it will take .9 seconds for the arrow to travel the 90 yards. A hec of a lot can go wrong in .9 seconds. Considering we have not factored in acceleration or deceleration it is more likely greater than 1 second. Simply an irresponsible and arrogant move from someone who clearly does not respect the animal or the method! You really need a new hobby or a break from the key board you have entirely too much time on your hands. I laughed so hard I fell out of my chair! REALLY!! Come on! The last time I fell out of my chair is when Coachcw posted his 371 bull, that's 3 times this month.

Just let us know where you hunt, and we will stay clear of the dead animals,,,rotting!
Was he using lumenocks? I heard you can shoot an extra 50 yards with them.. .....
With a flashlight attached.

Quote from: PA BEN on November 26, 2011, 07:24:52 AMHoward Hill could do it all day long w/a 100lb long bow. Well, Hill's dead and there aren't any more Howard Hills. We've had this discussion many times. It's all about what happens in the whole second between the time the arrow leaves and arrives in a 90 yard shot. An animal can move a whole body length or more in a second. He was damned lucky and I bet for every one elk killed at 90 yards, 4 or 5 are wounded, and through no fault of the hunter, even with perfect form and practice. I personally think a 90 yard shot is selfish and irresponsible. This guy admits that this was beyond his farthest pin, so it's clear he hasn't been target shooting to 90.
