Dr_Scholl Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 I have just watched both videos! I could be wrong but these look like American soldiers out on "training"! If I am right then with a mental level such as shown on these videos while out on training is it any wonder that the Yanks are involved in so many "friendly fire" incidents? While we're on a military subject, let's talk about the Battle of Paris in WW2. Oops, I just remembered. You let the Germans march in without firing a shot...

Richie10 Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Enough people on here shooting rabbits with .243's and shooting at eyes in the dark. Easy to criticise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That may well be the case, but quarry identification is not the issue here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wy111 Posted March 18, 2011 Report Share Posted March 18, 2011 I think some of the comments on the other vids are "quite" explicit and mostly from yanks, enough said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 You think this bad have a look on you tube at what some of the tossers over the pond do with bow and arrows on deer and bears. Wrong just plain wrong. I have never been squeamish but seeing suffering when there is no need ATB figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Please remember that there are plenty of people (probably the majority of the poulation) that think shooting pigeon or deer is sick and that we should be ashamed of ourselves for doing it! Whilst I am of the opinion that, where animals are concerned, one should not shoot beyond one's ability or take unecessary risks, i.e. shoot animals at extreme range. I do feel that we should respect other societies hunting methods and activities. There are practices throughout the world far more questionable and (definately) inhumane than bowhunting. I personally do not have a problem with hunting with bows and in fact, if it was legal here, would happily partake. It is no less humane than a bullet if done properly.

Not saying it can't be done humanely just not as easily done,but the idiot i saw on you tube was a real yahoo redneck no bl**dy robin hood,where food is put out to bait them in then shot from high seat with bow as sport. We all talk of correct calibre for size of our quarry and rightly so, how does a bow and arrow equate,you could kill a deer with an air gun given the right circumstance like through the eye into brain would kill at point blank but it still doesn't make it the correct thing to do. We have evolved from spear chucking and stone throwing to kill our animal of choice, by the invention of the fire arm,we in the western world are not some indigenous tribe in the wilds who do it because of necessity. One mans right is another mans wrong. Atb figgy Edited March 29, 2011 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atb figgy So is that any different from putting decoys out to pull pigeons in or have beaters flush pheasants towards guns (remember, the poor pheasants are bread with the specific intention of being shot for sport... barbaric eh!) or salt licks or molasys put out to encourage deer into a specific spot (usually near a nice comfy high seat)...... All in the name of sport... And I'm not sure if I understand the last part of your post correctly but if you are saying that hunting with bows is somehow backwards and outdated just because we have firearms.... modern compound bows are state of the art engineering genius... incredibly accurate and putting out quite a bit more power than a .22rf but with a much more lethal package being launched. If anything, modern bows pack far more technology in them than most rifles! Beware the holier than though attitude.... we are all guilty of the same supposed crimes to one degree or another in the eyes of someone else!

One mans right is another mans wrong. Atb figgy I'm not having a go. I see very little difference between this and feeding pheasants on a shoot,(as already mentioned). The modern arrows will pass right through a deer. Hardly low powered and not comparible to your normal airgun. Added to this is that I would imagine quarry would be hunted at close range. Personally I strongly disapproved of the video when I first watched it. I would also be pro bow hunting in this country. It isn't necessarily the weapon used that makes the method of hunting inhumane. It is mainly down to the individual using it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
