Default RE: New bow & brisket shot?

My stepson took a nice 120-130 lb doe 2 weeks ago with that shot using a 12 gauge shotgun and a 1 oz rifled slug at 30 yards. Dropped her in her tracks. She never took another step. But I'd have to agree with the other posts on an archery shot. That deer would have to be within 10 yards of me and walking right at me before I would attempt it. Even with the new bow speeds, an arrow just won't get there fast enough to ensure the deer doesn't move before it hits. Just my opinion. Thanks for the heads up on the target though. I used haybales for my targets too. Guess I'll have to breakdown and buy a regular target now that I've got my new Martin. Dangnabit all! I was getting good at killing those haybales! LOL
