If your in the tree an he is QA then aimso the arrow will hopefully exit just behind an low on the opposite shoulder.

x3 here! I've shot probably 80% of my animals quartering away. I've done exactly as listed by AR Bowhunter or at least I tried to anyway.

It really depends as he walks, you know, one foot in front of the other.
If the furthest shoulder is back when you hit with your arrow, you risk a shoulder shot which could lead to the arrow stopping in the shoulder and not having an exit wound.
So a few variables come to mind and have been mentioned...
Degree of angle, height of your tree stand (assuming your in a tree) and where the shoulders are when you release.
Good post Big Ed!! Good info in this post to go by.
