Default RE: Experience VS shot selection

I didn't read anything past Germs first response.


GOOD ANSWER and my sintiments exactly.



I have taken a couple shots that I would get flamed for on here from trying to explain the situation but I am the one there and I have the experience to know whether or not my abilities and my equipment are up to the task.


I shot a deer one time where the kill was completely covered by brush(I could still see the kill zone,it was just covered).[]But knowing the ARC of my arrow at specific distances,I was able to lay the pin where it belongs and I watched my arrow fly right over the brush and go right through the heart and lungs.Deer expired in 20 yards. This was all after stopping the deer TWICE.Absolutely no time to think,all reaction.


I don't think an inexperienced hunter would/shouldtake this shot.
