Definitely not. It's a low percentage shot because the most likely outcome is you'll hit one lung and the paunch behind. The arrow may or may not exit. Then you'll have a horrible blood trail that is lengthy and may not lead to a recovered animal.

I had pretty much the same shot two years ago on a trophy whitetail. I was at full draw for an eternity at 20 yards and felt confident in my ability to hit a 1 1/2" spot every time. I resisted the temptation to shoot because I knew the possible result could be. Never got the buck, but never wounded it either.
