Default RE: Whats the deal? Quartering to shots

ORIGINAL: drockw

Unless its a monster and I think its the last chance, there is NO WAY I would take a quartering to shot. To not hit the shoulder, and get a good vital shot, the margin of error is soooo small its ridiculous. I thinksome of it is over confidence in large diameter cutting broadheads.
To me this would be the exact reason not to risk the shot on a animal especially a rare trophy. Why in the heck would I want to wound it if that small margine of error becomes a reality? Just cause you see it on shows does not mean you have to be a risk taker. Wait for the shot! If you don't have it the deer lives another day. If all your worried about is a monster then wait for rifle season. This is why we bowhunt. Right? MAny times I would believe the camera angle is different from the hunters actual view.
