Fast forward a couple of years and a few kills without a hitch. Then here comes a hog at a meer 12 yds, draw aim and shoot, damn! the hog takes that one step as I release and my arrow hits far back with little penetration, forget about it, he never slowed down and no telling how far and how long he lasted.
My point EXACTLY!
YOUR words, not mine!
The #1 reason AGAINST head/neck shots, especially with smaller calibers!
Animals are unpredictable! Aim for the vitals, with a caliber suitable for the vitals, a quick sure kill, even if they make that sudden move at the time of the shot!
Do you realise how fast a bullet gets to 50 yds, compared to a bow at 20.
Somebody with some time figure that out. I will venture to say a bullet will hit 300 yds before a bow will reach 20 if fired at the same exact time.
