RE: "IF" you were going to take these shots
I also shot and killed another buck this year, a 6 pointer at 5 yards. I used the same aiming point. The shot hit true, he ran 20 yards, laid down and died.
As you can see, I have made alot of bow shots at short distances just in the last few years. That is why I am trying to figure this whole thing out. I really must not perceive this shot the same way that most people do. "if it ain't broke, why fix it?"
