My thinking on the matter is that if you're shooting groups of 3 or 4 inches at 60 yards on a nonliving target and your centered on the vitals and when you let the arrow fly that animal just happens to take a step, not as a reaction to anything but just because that's what animals can do, and that arrow happens to be the one in the group that you shoot back a little bit you probably won't miss the deer, but there's a very high probability that you'll gut shoot it, which I understand can happen, I've done it, but in my book that's almost worse than missing. I don't know exactly how large of a step a deer takes but I could see it really throwing a wrench into things. Also, using the argument of "I saw it on the outdoor channel," is a very bad one…
