The straight down spin shot is not a good shot. If you do hit the spin perfectly it will most likely drop in its tracks and have to be put down with another shot. If you hit to the side slightly you will most likely hit one lung and have no exit wound making tracking near impossible. Its very easy to lose a deer shot in one lung and it may even live.

I will not take this shot myself. I commend you on holding off on the shot.
