Anyone shoot their deer in the shoulder with an arrow? Everything I've experienced and have read indicates a Shoulder shot will make the animal lay down and expire sooner, making for an easier recovery. With rifle anyways. I've never been fortunate enough to take anything with Bow and arrow.

I know archery is a whole other ball game. But with Bow and arrow, especially with modern bows putting out 55-60 lbft of KE. (at range) It seems like it should be doable.(inside 30 yds anyways) I suppose it's a practical study of effective and actual penetration rather than what the numbers say.

Just for anecdotal evidence My dad shot a 200 lb Feral Hog in the shoulder blade with a 60 lb PSE 10 yrs ago and got a clean pass through. I'm pretty sure it would work with a 100 lb Whitetail.

What do you guys think? Personal experience would be helpful.
