SWJ: They talk about 500 yd shots with a muzzle loader. That would be like hitting a mouse at 50 yds with a .22. One could see the mouse but you can't pick the kill spot.
That would be a rainbow shot for sure.
What concerns me the most is hunters trying for that deer quarter mile away just because their rifle will shoot that far or the hunter that takes the desperation shot at a running target.
I have seen both.
Take a 30-06 semi auto and you will cut down a few saplings and most everything else in it's way.
Indiana does not have the open areas as out west nor the large forest and mountains for backstops. Our southern counties would be more suited for larger rifle calibers but not the flat small farming areas.
I am sure this is a money backed proposal as it has been pushed to the administrative agency to propose and amend the rules.
Pass the buck in more ways than one.
Time will tell but I'm buying more orange....lol
