With a gun I wouldn't be overly worried about it because of the shock to the rest of the system. I wouldn't intentionally aim for it though. Now if it was pretty far away and I aimed for the back of the deer for elevation and accidently hit the spine I could live with it.

With a bow, NO WAY. I have seen video of it beeing done and it almost made me cry. And I am one cold hearted SOB. Just not a shot I would take and feel good about.

I voted no obviously.
