Easy now boy.....easy......
There are alot of "good shots". One of the best is a deer quartering away from you at a slight angle. Another factor is how good a shot you are. Don't for one minute think that the only "good" shot is broad side. Pass that rubish on somewhere else........
Groundhunter,
Ok...granted I didn't go into every single angle that a deer could be standing for a high percentage shot, but you have to be crazy to not think that a broadside shot isn't the best shot at a deer out in the woods. I'd take a broadside, double lung shot at a deer anyday over ANY other angle. Bow or gun. The other factor of being a good shot.?. If your not a good shot, hit the range until you are. Bow hunters(well most that are worth a s**t), don't buy a bow the day before the season, practice for 10 min and then sit in a tree stand and "attempt" to hunt. But it can happen very easily with gun guys. I know two of those this year. They bought a gun, got it bore sighted, hit the range for 10 min..."It's dead on at 100....I'm ready to go". LOL What a joke!! That was the main point I was trying to get across. This goes out to the beginners in either the sport of bowhunting or gun hunting....Be an archer or a gun shooter before you step into the woods to be a "Deer" hunter. Certainly doesn't mean that nothing can go wrong, but atleast you will know what your weapon does and what it's capable of before you step into the woods.
