Wow! I'm surprised at some of these responses, and not in a good way. I agree 100% with mauser on this topic. I don't care how perfect you think a shot is something can and sometimes will go wrong with a shot. It might not be a horrible shot, but all it would take is a none perfect shot. I used to shoot against IBO world champions(and hold my own)and i've had arrows stray when I thought it was a perfect situation. All it takes is an angle being a little sharper than you expect and only catching one lung. Deer goes 200 yards and by the time you get 75 the trail is washed away. I just don't see how it would be worth the risk of not recovering an animal.
