    yeah/nah - its nothing to do with ft lbs, its about respecting your quarry and making sound/ethical judgements. Hell, if you want to be a hero get your mate to wander out to 688 yards and stand there holding a 6 in gong while you take "the hero shot".

    Its not about being a hero.

    Understanding the science behind ballistics, having good gear and practising enough to make a clean shot is respecting your quarry.

    Distance has nothing to do with it. I have seen plenty of fuckwits wound deer up close....
