no, not that i know it's a high risk shot....but i did take my hog this way, i was aiming for the back of the lung , but i was off about an inch and it ended up going through the rear ham out the lung....thank God she went down 65 yards away...i wont do it on a deer for sure and i doubt i'll ever take another pig that way....even though i was confindent in my shot and thought it was an ethical shot, i learned it wasnt the best choice, but the only one i had, i have practiced many hours shooting from any and every angle i could think of, but now that i know, nope, no more...she was 17 yards away...,
