QUARTERING AWAY SHOTS ARE GREAT SHOTS BUT I WOULD AVOID THEM FOR BEARS AND GOATS. FOR ME BROADSIDE IS BETTER ON THESE CRITTERS AS I WANT A BETTER CHANCE OF LETTING AIR OUT OF BOTH LUNGS. IF YOU ONLY GET ONE LUNG THEIR STAMINA IS SO STRONG THEY CAN GO A LONG WAYS. AND WITH BEARS IT COULD BE IN YOUR DIRECTION QTR. AWAY SHOT NEED TO ENTER I THE GUT BEHIND THE RIBS OR YOU CAN GET A DEFLECTION OF THE RIBS. OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN GET BOTH LUNGS WITH A QRT AWAY SHOT BUT SOMETIMES YOU DON'T. THE ANGLE OF THE QRT AWAY MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. IF YOU HIT THE SHOULDER BLADE YOU ARE WAY TOO FAR FOREWARD. ALSO RIB CONFIGERATION(SP) ON SOME ANIMALS IS DIFFERENT.SO THE GAP IS NARROWER.... APPEARENTLY CAPE BUFFULO RIBS OVERLAP SO QRT AWAY IS BEST....HEAR SAY I HAVE NEVER HUNTERD ONE OR SEEN ONE.
