ADC,
You must hate the .223 more than the Taliban!!!
Almost all the people that have posted here have taken game larger than a coyote with the .223rem. They must have been succesful or they wouldn't talk about it.

Sure if you limit the shot and are a good shot you can kill deer with it, you can do it with a 22-250 as well, that is not the point! To state it is sufficant use for big game is lacking in a big way. How many people who see the 30 pointer at 300 yards are going tompass on it? Add in wind, a moving target or any other scenario that may happen afield and I'm wanting more bullet and more knock down power.
An arrow is far different the shock value isn't there, you must rely on a vitale hit to kill cleanly with a bow and arrow, they are a limited range weapon those that push it find out the hard way! As a hunt safe instructor I would never give out advise to anyone to use a .223 as a main deer weapon to be counted on in many situations. I have seen plenty of runner coyotes from this caliber, let alone deer!
Just listen to what your saying, If a hunter can put an arrow in a 8" circle at 30yds why is it so hard to belive a hunter can put a bullet in the same spot at 100yds? I love to bow hunt but your program should let you in on the fact that the .223 rnd still has more energy than any bow.
If some one want's to shoot a .223 at their game its only a bad idea if they fail and that can happen with any caliber. I saw a bear wounded by four 06 shots once. And finished with a .243 to the head. Just ask any guide what they see happen with novice hunters and magnums. Thats it peace and love to all....
