lonebowman I don't think a neck shot is a very good choice at all. I'd let the deer walk before I drew back to take that shot. There's no vitals there.Lungs, heart, liver, are vital kill shots. I think the only thing you'll accomplish is wounding the deer or having it bounce off his shoulderblade. Just my opinion I may be wrong but it's different than what I've studied or been taught. I myself have one buck killed with a bow with 1 arrow shot in my life. Double lunged him at 15 yards.
