If you have to put 2 arrows in a deer, it's still 2 arrows released, one deer bagged.
I don't much like what this says.....
So you spine a deer.....and follow up with 2-3 more arrows.....and you're penalized (in your scenario) as far as your "batting average"? I'd rather know I did the right thing.
Extenuating circumstances. I won't play.
Edit - And no....I haven't spined a deer, this year.
