So why even bother with a poll?.......you made your decision and you will have one of5 outcomes and will have to live with any of them.
Kill, wound, miss , no shot, or see nothing.
Any of which can happen to any of us at anytime no matter how much we practice.

If you can live with a doe with an arrow sticking out of it's neck or assbecause you can attribute it to a lack of realistic practice then that's your bag. Here's hoping you double lung one but your not stacking the odds in your's or the deer's favor for a pretty outcome. You can't kill something if you don't shoot at it, but we also have some degree of responsibility to be as prepared as we can be IMO.

Why start a thread basically taunting those of us who might not agree to actually speak up and disagree for fear of an argument?
"Here's what I'm going to do regardless of what you say ,but hey how about some feedback anyway?"
Either do it or don't,but what's the point other than creating an argument?

I know first hand what you are setting yourself up for, and I wishany deer you shoot atthe best of luck for a quick death.

Hypothetically.......Would you be critical of saya 30 yr old guy who is buying his first compound at Wal-Mart thenight before the archery opener and asking the clerk which mechanical broadhead's he should buy for his 40# PSE Nova for the morning's hunt?
There are degrees of responsibility related to ignorance (lack of knowledge) which may or may not be learned through trial and error, and then there is simply knowing better and doing it anyway against your better judgement.
