I've taken 6 head on shots at elk and killed them all - a friend has taken 6 broadside shots and only killed 4 of 6 elk.

You tell me which is the better shot in the above scenarios ?

You can't.

More animals are lost/wounded/missed by shooting broadside than any other. Fact. So how can the "perfect" shot end up being not so perfect ?

Its not the shot so much as it is the guy taking the shot. Shots I cannot make, others can. I KNOW this, I realize it and I'm good with it - because it simply is.

If you can make the straight on shots - take them. If you can't make them, don't take them. Because at the end of the day, you take your shots, I'll take my shots and I'll trust you'll make yours.

You need to trust I'll make mine.
