longrifleman, I agree 100%. Know your limitations.
MCgunner, I bow hunt too, I hunt with pistols, I have taken a host of critters with my 300 WM. 7-08 or .25-06 are my general goto rifles. I dont advocate BUYING at .224 diam rifle for the purpose of deer hunting. Believe me, you will get flamed plenty well for a .243. It all comes down to the choice of bullet design then putting that bullet where you want it. Nothing (well, almost nothing) upsets me more than hearing someone say "I cant believe I made that shot" when hunting. I love to hear it at the range. Take home message: Know your limitations & the capabilities of your equipment.
