You asked for OTHER variables, yet you gave none, Fact is, there are few no different than rifle hunting. I interpret "taking your best shot as the actual act of hunting, not pre hunt prep.
Is this the animal you want?
Are you capable of making he shot and making a clean kill,
If you make the shot , are you prepared to field dress it or do a gutless prep of the carcass and remove the animal from the place of the kill?
Not much else to consider except how to butcher and utilize the animal.
