I have tested this while practicing and found that canting the bow made me shoot several inches off either side. Up and down was still fine. I think as far as hunting goes you would still be lethal as long as you aimed in the right spot to begin with. If you aimed too far back and canted the bow, then your wounding odds increase of course. just what i have seen. If you are missing more than 3-4" it prolly has nothing to do with canting the bow a little. JMO.
I agree with the Canting the bow statement. Exspecially on side hill shots. I'll never shoot without a level bubble in the site picture again. It really makes a difference.

MO.........how does Nugent get away with canting the bow so much?? Just because he shoots the same every time??
I've not had much experience with recurves/longbows but it seems to me that they always are canting the bow. Is this the norm?
