Yeah, you're right. Non-hunters and anti-hunters are sure to make a distinction between an inexperienced hunter that (poorly) sticks and wounds the first animal to run by and a hunter that has practiced a bit more and tries his best to get good shot placement.
BTW, there's a distinct difference between what's legal and what's ethical. Legally, I can take aim at the head of a deer with a 40# bow and let fly. Doesn't mean it's the most ethical shot, however.
