Whenever Ihave taken a quartering to shot I normally blow right through the shoulder and it's a very short tracking job....
What are some things that could possible deflect an arrow or effect penetration? Heavy bone possible?
IMPO, the word that I don't really care for in your post is "normally". Does that mean 9 out of 10, 8 out of10, 7 out of 10. What would the number need to be before even considering not taking a quartering to shot?Nine seems enough to me personally.
Also, why does the Bowhunters Education Foundation not recommend taking a quartering to shot?Or does their opinion simply not apply to us?
It all depends on the angle and the shooter!! What someone in a classroom "recommends" is just that a recommendation. It certainly does not apply to every possible angle and shot oppurtunity you might encounter in the woods and doesn't take into consideration individual shooter capabilities.
