I guess it would work, if you could get the deer to hold the can over his heart.[:-]

^ see instead of a 3" circle i use a canKnow really the can helps me concentrate on teh shot, its kinda wierd, but i can shoot at just a target and shoot like crap, and stick a can or bottle or whaterver and i shoot better.

i do this with old juice jugs and whatnot all the time. a soda can is a small enough target that you could kill a deer. you really only need to be able to hit a desert plate. That's about...what? 4"dia.
