Even then, though, you don’t need pistols for hunting.
I do know of people who hunt with handguns, but it is definitely rarer. I honestly don’t have any issues with hunting if you eat what you hunt. If you just do it to massacre an animal and just leave it where you killed it, fuck you, but I have no issue with responsible hunting practices.
That said, it’s my understanding that bow hunting is the fastest, and thus most painless way of killing an animal.
That is completely False.
I have shells that will cause a 3 to 4 inch cavitation hole when they hit something causing a large amount of damage and blood loss that will kill with any hit in the chest area.
With a bow, even if you hit the heart it will still take time, especially if you miss and then it is bleeding, suffering, and you have to track it.
At top skill in both I would say it is a tie in that both have the potential to kill instantly, a bow is more likely to harm than kill at lower skill levels though.
Fair enough. I’m not a hunter. That’s just something I’ve been told before.
.357 mag will kill a deer
Yes but you’d struggle to get close enough to make a reliably good shot. Ranged shots are what rifles are for.
Most of the things I’ve shot in my life with the rifle I was close enough I could’ve done it with a pistol.
We hunt in forests around here not plains.
Pistol shooting practice is typically done at no more than 25 yards, while hunting rifles can more comfortably do a longer range. Sure, you can hit with a pistol at similar ranges (especially with a larger caliber as you propose) but rifles are better for controlling the recoil and typically more accurate. If the goal is to actually hit, and in particular kill painlessly, a rifle is the better tool.
I think the farthest shot I have had was maybe 35 yards.
You basically find a good trail and put up a blind or stand near it.
We have to cut our own firing lanes so short distances are much preferred. Lol
