Yes but what defines a "good shot" in your book is not necessarily a bad shot in my book. There are numerous ways to hit the vitals. The question is who's shot book are you playing by? If you can't make the shot, then don't. Personally I love ANY shot that kills the deer and puts food on the table. Don't know about you, but when I'm hunting there is no one standing over my shoulder saying don't take that shot.... I am the only one who knows the right time to shoot... and all the decision is based on are 2 things, can I make the shot and will it do the job it is suppose to do, end of story. I never even think about what someone else thinks, cares, says, has or has not done before. Take the shots you can make and pass on the ones you can't, it really is as simple as that.
