If you have a tool that will reliably smash through bone and penetrate the vitals then why not take the shot? I, and some others, use the tools that will accomplish this. If you don't then don't take the shot... It's that simple.
I appreciate your opinion but I guess what I was saying that I wouldn't "promote" it as a shot take because people will take it as "I can take that shot too" and probably 99% of bowhunters don't have the setup to consistently bring down big game animals on quartering too shots.
Also, you can't compare a broadside shot with a quartering too shot and the problems that can occur. Typically a broadside shot that goes bad is the shooters fault. On a quartering too shot you have a much smaller room for error and the shooter might do everything right but hit the wrong thing in the shoulder area and you have a wounded, lost animal.
