[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1027974, member: 2736"] This will always be the case when someone does something new/different. When I started bow hunting everyone was using the long bow or the Recurve and compounds were looked down on because of there extended range, I have hunted with everything but a spear or a rock and at some point I wanted more of a challenge and I feel that Long range is that challenge. After siting in a stand with a rifle capable of any normal distance, It just didn't seam very sporting. (Another reason I got into bow hunting) I would normally limit my self to 500 to 600 yard shots. Extending that range seamed to be the next challenge. so hear we are and we are still being looked down on. Mainly because most people cant make long shots so they play the ethical card. All we can do is try not to exceed our limits and give them fuel tor there opinions about our sport. The plus side for us is it makes us better shots and at normal distance, deadly. The plus side for them (Which they will never admit ) is the improvement in firearms and ammo that we have brought about because of the demands for quality systems required for long range hunting. If It weren't for guys like LEN and this site, we would still be slugging it out by ourselves with little or no support. Thanks to all that contribute to our sport and knowledge. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
