Your dream buck steps out in the field and it is 90 yards away calmly feeding and you are losing legal shooting light and you have been shooting 2" groups at 100 yards. Not for everyone, but if you know you can make that shot, the dream buck is yours!

How is it unethical if you could safely and willingly take the shot and kill the animal

At 440 fps, it will only take a little more than 1/2 a second for that bolt to get there at 90 yards. Unless that deer is already walking, he isn't moving much in that amount of time. If he's feeding, he isn't moving at all.
I frequently saw a guy kill deer at 70+ yards with an Excalibur going back 10 years ago. As technology advances, 100 yd kills are not going to be unheard of with xbows. Hunting techniques will change to gun style...box blinds on fields or food plots, and long range shooting. Honestly, buckshot at 50 yards is a more risky shot than an xbow at 90. The xbow definitely has a longer effective range than just about any buckshot on the market.

A half a second? The 440 fps. is out of the front of the bow. It loses speed downrange as with any projectile. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and say 1 second. Let's see how far you can move in 1 second? Give it a try.
I've seen deer duck an arrow at under 20 yards... got it on film at 10 yards. That's quick.
The benefit of long range shooting is the deer won't duck you arrow when they hear the bow go off IF THEY ARE NOT ALERT. if they are alert, they will most likely get hit in the ass or a clean miss, by a few feet....
Next time you see a deer 70-100 yards away, feeding in a bean field, shout, clap, yell, or shoot your bow. The distance is so far, they won't feel threatened to just duck and run... instead they will snap their head up and stare in your direction, in an alert pose.. by time they know it, they are hit.
I have done it with my compound. ... back when I shot alot, I was very comfortable at long distance. I've taken deer at 50 yards numerous times, and my very best was 78 yards, double lung. If you practice, know your yardage, and know how to read a deers body language, it's not different than 20 yards.
Not for everybody, but is ethical for those who take the time to practice.
I currently won't shoot over 40 anymore, cause I don't practice much anymore, just a few shots the week before the season is all I have time for

Not talking about alert/calm. Just a fact that it is possible for a deer to move several inches in a second for whatever reason. You can't predict their movements. It's a risky shot. I'm not getting into ethics. Do what you feel comfortable with.

Unbelievably stupid and ridiculous response. People make unethical shots with recurves and compounds. Should we ban those too?

Yea I understand what your saying. I guess it's all about the shooter and what he or she is confident on
