I believe all weapons have an effective range, within that range the weapon is lethal given the operator is competent. (the Super Slam has been accomplished by compounds and recurves) Many times for a traditional shooter that means keeping shots at 20 to 30 yards. For a compound shooter with sights and laser range finder maybe out to 40 or 50 yards. High powered rifles 2-300 yards. Sure there are all to many that like to stretch the limits but in the end it is up to the individual to make an ethical shot (or live with themselves when making a poor decision). I'm all for long range shooting, just not at live targets - they deserve more respect.
