Fair enough Jeff.
Its just that for me a big part of the experience is getting as close as I can before the critter gets the bad news. My grandpa drilled it in to me that it was wrong to shoot from far when you could get close and that lesson stuck with me.
I'd much rather have the satisfaction of knowing I was good enough to get close than the satisfaction of making a long shot with a scoped rifle.
To each his own I guess.
