Default RE: Head on Shot on Elk on OLN - Good or Bad?

I wouldn't say anything goes to shoot a video. However I would say that they are teaching a newbie that this is an acceptable shot for everyone, whether the archer is capable or not. IMO the shots that are taken sometimes are on a complete opposite of the spectrum that any new archer should attempt. Practice is the key word. If a guy shoots 4-5 nights a week year round, and has ice in his/her veins in all situations I would promote the head on shot. However not in most cases . It would be like promting a Texas heart shot. That shot is deadly as heck but there is little room for eror.( a little more precision neededthan the head on but the same concept.) I would much rather have a good double lung anyway!!!!
