Default Big difference between this shooting and guns

I truly believe that the equipment, by it's nature, no matter how new your gear, is just not designed to be used like this. Many have already mentioned this... But factors such as arrow speed, visibility, and the massive suseptibility to wind just kills any argument that one could make an ethical shot and not call it a hail mAry shot.
I've taken three hunting shots past 30... About 35-40 and I cashed in on one. I really believe a big part of hunting with sharp sticks is the skill of the hunter to get in close. Itsa a hell of a skill that I think is lost on most hunters (and I'm still trying to get the hang of every season).

Yes.. I'm bitter cause my shoulder isn't healing well.. Yes I'm pouting!
Yes... Still ranting... I'll be done soon.

Please don't feed me the "I'm good to 70 cause I Practice out to there" garbage unless you also are good with the ole Jedi mind tricks and can keep the critter still for 1-3 seconds and have majic wind control powers...
