Hotburn, I once had a shot at a HUGE racked whitetail that was 12 yards from me, never knew I was anywhere around and he was facing the opposite way. I was shooting a Golden Eagle compound at the time & if I knew the yardage I could keep the arrow within 2 or 3 inches at the most. Anyway I pulled back on him & waited for him to turn or walk away & give me a quartering away shot. He just stood there and I started shaking (from buck fever) so bad I let down, then drew the bow again. I couldn't stop shaking enough to make what I felt was a good clean shot so I never took it. He walked away, never to be seen again. I would do it all over again because like you I want the shot to go where it should to do the job it should do, cleanly.
