...Ahh grasshoppar, on the surface it would appear to be so. But search deeper my son!

Quarter size paper targets are inanimate objects and do not move at the sound of your shot. Deer do move, either by choice or reaction, therefore it is foolish to attempt to hit a particular artery that one can't see in the first place and risk wounding the animal.

I might add too that the angle in which the arrow strikes the deer is paramount to the animals recovery in most cases.
