Listen "How Far Is Too Far: What Is Your Effective Range"
Episode Synopsis
This has been one of the largest debates in the hunting world, particularly in bow hunting. It's an ethical debate that can be the deciding factor in a successful harvest. The debate at hand is: what constitutes an effective or ethical shot distance with archery equipment? Many western bow hunters argue that long-distance shots are necessary in the vast landscapes of the West. But is that truly the case? Some hunters push the limits of their effective range, driven by the fear of missing a rare opportunity to take down their target buck. But is this practice genuinely ethical? In this episode, we break down our opinions on what we define as an "effective range" for hunters. We share our experiences with hunting big game in both the Midwest and out West, and discuss what we believe is an unethical distance for taking a shot at big game with a bow.
