I practice alot and I can hit it enough or close enough, given a nice broadside shot with good weather conditions, I would take the shot. I know I am not a pro, I would be asking my fellow hunting brothers on my situation if I was pro.
Now after that, what arrows do you all suggest I buy or look into? I buy a dozen arrows at a time, 6 veins(If it is raining or snowy) and 6 w/ feathers for the good days. I use 100 grain Carbon Express F-15 mechanical but are considering going to a Grim Reaper. Should I go up to a heavier broadhead as well?
I wasnt basing my statement at you bro, more so just commenting in general on OHb's post, so no hard feelings

As far as the arrow goes, I would find something with a MINIMUM of 300 spine. As far as the bh goes, I would stick with 100gr. No need to go heavier when you are already probably going to be underspined with the 300 anyways at your DL.

I'd suggest an Axis arrow with 100gr up front, but thats just me... An FMJ 300 would put you at about 500gr. They are really great arrows in my experience.

You seriously will have NO need for any extra energy regardless of where you hit the deer. You will easily get the penetration needed(likely with a pass through) even if you shoot a deer square in the shoulder.
