Target or 3d shooting sure but it really bothers me when people hunt at super long distances. (Not talking about in the west)

LOL ... "Not talking about in the west?" Do ethics somehow mutate once you cross the Mississippi??? Do lousy shooters from down east somehow transform into so may William Tells once they get to Wyoming? :rolleyes: o_O Why would a hundred yard shot in Connecticut be terrible but a guy taking the same shot in Oklahoma is okay with you? I don't follow the logic. :unsure:

Ifyouve ever hunted out there, the shots are generally far. Maybe it was just the area iwas in but here in pa there is so much more brush and stuff

This one will never be settled, especially now with 500 fps whiz bang crossbows (and faster ones likely coming) getting so much attention. I expect 600 fps is being worked on now. For me, no thanks.

IMO as speed increases so does distance .
100 may be pushing it but with a 505 60 yds is like a chip shot .

Very true, im just gonna stick in the 300s for fps. 35 max distance is ok with me. This is technically archery😉 500+ grain bolts...mmmmm

Have you ever caught someone trying to kill a animal at 100 yards with a crossbow?

Not in person no. Im new to xbow, this will be my first season with one. I was a trad guy before my car wreck and coma. The only way i can get out in the woods now is the xbow, i did attempt compound verticals but i didnt care for them and the local shop here only carries micro excals so i have a blackhawk 360. I am 29 if that matters

You will find that peoples ethic will change depending on whether they like a certain animal or not. Example a guy may say to you how dare you shoot at a deer at 80 yards but its ok to shoot a coyote or groundhog at that distance or beyond, Me I shoot at what I'm comfortable with. I am the one who has to deal with the bad feeling if I wound any animal. I do not like wounding any animals whether I like the species or not I always want a humane kill. Unfortunately that don't always happen

Even feral hogs that are 100% destructive and contribute nothing?

When I was a kid I used to run a hay crew 5 guys we got 20 cents a bail split 5 ways was 4 cents a bail per guy. I still have to put up my own hay because you can't get this younger generation to do manual labor what a shame.

Hey now, im 29! Was a teenager when i did farm stuff. It is hard to find nowadays. Big reason why murica will collapse soon. Good quote is “Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”

You can't blame the Kid or the "illegal". Blame the person that hires them.

Ohhhh yeah, people are super patriotic untl it comes to their wallets. Like my dad who will buy the cheap tool from china instead of a little pricier American made which is what NEEDS to be bought for the future of this country. Originmaine.com does a pretty good job with American made. Clothing for anyone curious and they make hunting gear! Ignore the dog hair, this is my everyday wear since its hanging around 35 degrees, im not hunting with this one but i absolutely love the camo pattern

If I was in my 20s ... and knew then what I know now? There wouldn't be a woman in the state that would be safe from my charms. :p 😂:cool:

I have to admit that I was going to reply with a post that my mind kept saying "Don't Do It ". I might get booted from CN. I will just leave it at, that when you were originally 20, a woman was a woman. :unsure: :confused: :censored:

To tell you all the truth, when I was twenty, I thought more about bowhunting then women. Now at my age, bowhunting is all I can think about. ;)

Mannnnn, women are just expensive. Cleaning isnt bad, cooking is decent, a dog fixes lonliness, only thing is sexual and sex isnt great 9/10 times

It appears to me, and I’m sure Duke plus others, that you need some serious counseling.😊
[/QUOTE]
Counseling is expensive, spend a month talking to someone that doe nothing or have entire hunting setup complete AND a mount(s)

I get ... the Archie Bunker cooking and cleaning perspective since there's still a lot of that around.:rolleyes: Although with automated dishwashers, advanced washers & driers, computerized ovens, big microwaves, iRobot vacuums & robot Braava mops it's not that as big a deal as some Archie's make it out to be.;) The one I can't wrap my mind around is that sex isn't great 9 out of ten times??? I was reminiscing about sex just the other day and just for giggles figured I've had it somewhere between 15,000 and 20,000 times. Gospel truth, I can't remember any time when it wasn't simply fabulous. Good, better and best. I gotta think it's a sorry situation not thinking otherwise 9 out of ten times. :oops:

Must just be where im from but its been rough, if the girl didn't lay there like a tranquilized noisebox then theyd get "tired" after riding for 30 seconds. Its just a bad time
Know whos always happy to see me? Who doesn't ever bitch about stupid stuff? Who doesn't want expensive dates every week? Whos happy to get wild game meat and doesn't call you a ******* murderer? My dog, thats who
