  If you are shooting 22's, head shots are usually a 1 shot deal. One shot is hard to locate from the noise, trust me , I know, thank goodness. Ahh,, fantasy is fun, We're all going to drown from Global Warming anyway.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

A 22 CB short has just enough power to brain a deer and drop it where it stands, I have done it a couple of times and it is more quiet than most high  powered air rifles.  One thing is for sure, the barter system would be alive and kickin.  I reload my center fires except fpr the SKS and usually keep enough bullets, powder, and primers to load several thousand rounds.  I even have stuff for a few calibers that I no longer own.  If push comes to shove, I would use the best that I had, whether it is a rifle, bow  or butcher knife.

Their way of looking at the sitation is no different than their forfathers 1000 years ago. Primitive skills is a matter of perspective. Man has never been primitive, He has always uesd the cutting edge technology of his time.

Really? I can believe it though. How far away would it be effective? If you had a good steady .22 and knew how to stalk, you could probabaly be better off (you could still hear more deer after a few months of hunting ;) :D) than anyone else. Except for a shotgun, there aren't alot of guns that can kill all sizes of game without wasteing alot of meat.

I was in one of those places where you don't want to draw attention to yourself.  I could literally see the parking lot for the city police dept from where I was at.  It was 100 yards away.  I dropped one with a direct brain shot one day at twenty yards and the next day I dropped another at twenty eight yards with a shot to the corner of the eye.  I did not want to risk the bullet not penetrating the skull.  The second day there was two cops in the parking lot talking when I shot.  They never even looked my way.

I suspect cannibalism in the general population would start with in the first month or so. Vegies would probably begin eating people first, claiming they were doing their part to lower the population and save the earth or some other equally absurd environmental claim.

Doesn't sound absurd. Let them eat people. Means more tree rat for me >:D!!!

I think cannibalism would be a good thing. All the stupid people would eat each other and leave the necessary resources to the people who got a clue :D.
