RE: Whats the deal? Quartering to shots
"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\
This really gets me going !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If there is EVER a deer to let walk "it is a monster" !
Why not gut shoot him or shoot him up the butt ?
Why not sling an arrow at him from a hundred yards away.
You are sitting there and this monster is walking by and you think you HAVE to do something.
You do- YOU HAVE TO THINK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have to wait for a good shot opportunity - OR
You have to let him walk - Sorry, that is just the way it is.
The quartering to shot is and ALWAYS will be a poor shot choice.
I suggest YOU quit watching so much TV.
We hunt with a bow and accept its limitations, one of which is to pass on bad shots.
What is wrong with our sport is to many archers have never learned the basics and refuse to keep those basics as sacred.
If your MONSTER buck comes in and does not offer a high percentage shot LET HIM GO !
You now know when and where he is - Come back another day and close the deal
Thats trophy hunting - If it is to tough - sell yourbow and buy a 300 Weatherby MAG
