Repeating much of what has been said, and to further beat this topic to death (from my past 17 years experience as a volunteer tracker on a military base - if they double lunged 'em, they didn't need my services):
- any shot taken within one's capabilities, even under ideallighting,takes on the risk of a miss- perhapsthe deer jumps the string, the archer flinches, or something mechanical happens as a sleeve or twig getting in the way. If you can miss a deer, you can make a marginal hit.Thenadd the low-light conditions that can exist within legal hunting time and the adrenaline rush of having a deer in range. Even thoughyou can make out your target and can center the pin near the kill zone, I believe you havegreatly increased yourchances for a bad outcome.I know several bowhunters who tried to make an end-of-day shot and will (or at least have stated such) never try it again. E.g. one friendhad the buck of his dreamsat close range said while he thought he was looking through his peep, thinkshe may have beenlooking throughthe gap in the string above his peep...a mistake not likely made in good light. There is no end to what can go wrong with a low-light shot while there is very little to contributing to it going right. Certainly your first question after making a low-light shot is going to be is "did I hit him/her?"; duh,is there a clue there? A responsible bowhunter will endeavor to makea clean kill, we owe it to the deer and the sport.

Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
