55#recurve - Your wish is my command -


Thats the skeleton - I submit that in pic #1, with that front right leg turned back a bit, you are looking at a significant ammount of bone there IF your shot was off to the right of the hear/lung area thats exposed. Also, if your shot was to the left a bit, you'd be hitting liver, MAYBE, and guts. I submit both shots would be bad - lethal I am sure, but bad because your arrow hitting a lot of bone wouldn't be pass through in most cases and the other would not be a quick clean kill - another long tracking job most cannot handle.



Thats another broadside view of the organs.

With a compound, you become more apt to take number A shot, or with a crossbow. With a recurve or longbow, I don't think 1 out of 100 would - they would wait.
