Do not take anything but a quartering away, dead on, or slighly quartering towards broadside shot with a bow, period. Too many variables can come into play when hunting these animals with a bow. You need to take the highest percentage shot at the biggest vital area possible, and this is it. I've done everything right and wounded deer and felt sick to my stomach for weeks, I couldn't even imagine what my state of mind would be if I attempted one of these irresponsible low percentage shots and it resulted in a wounded, suffering deer.
