Imagine a 1 1/2 ft tallby 4 ft widerectangle as the deer's body with the left side being the head side. So for example on a broadside shot from the ground (with the starting reference pointbeing thebottom left corner of the above rectangle) you would aim 10 inches upand 1 1/2 ft right which puts the point of impact right behind the shoulders for a double lung shot. I hope that's not too difficult to understand. Now, where would you aim and what vitals would you aim for in the following situations?
1) from 15yds away and 30ft up, deer broadside
2) 15yds away, 30ft up, quartering away at a 45 degree angle (meaning moderately quartered away)
3)20yds away, 30ft up, quartering away at a 65 degree angle (meaning severely quartered away)
4) 8yds away, 20ft up, broadside
5) 8yds away, 20ft up, quartering away at a 45 degree angle
It'll beinteresting ito see what your answers are and where your opinions differ.
On everyone of those shots I would want my arrow to come out onthe oppisite side an inch or two behind the shoulder!
