[QUOTE="Mebits, post: 883293, member: 74075"] That seems like a very confident statement. Can you derive that morality? :/ Seriously, you presume much. I'd never have taken the shot, had I realized how long it was. Sighting in the gun myself would have given me confidence to consciously decide or not to take that shot. It would have been far better in my opinion too. Still, I'm ethical enough to not CONSCIOUSLY take a shot at the outside edge of the effective range on a gun that I've not sighted myself. OTOH, at 65 yds, I took a buck quite handily. I felt comfortable out to that range as I trust my host's work and the size of the target. A little farther seemed reasonable. A lot farther, not. Alas, I misjudged the length of the shot. That won't happen again either but that's not an ethical failing so much as an error that I now know how to avoid. M [/QUOTE]
