waterfx -- welcome to the great sport of bowhunting. I wish you the best of luck in the future hunts. I've only been bowhunting since 2001 and must say that it quickly makes one appreciate the deer and its ability to outwit the hunter.
idahoelk and others have expressed some might fine points to you on the art of bowhunting of which I couldn't express any better. I've killed right 14 deer with a bow at that time. Each and every kill had a different outcome as far as the distance the animal ran. I've had 2 drop right in thier tracks but the rest were found from 50-205 yards away from the shot. In that time I've lost two deer and it's those that really make you sick. No one enters the woods wanting to lose a deer, I hope you never have that problem.
Will tell you that I don't think any bowhunter in their right mind will agree with your idea that's it better to shot them in the neck. The target area is just to small at any distance IMO.

If you are serious about bowhunting you have the responsibility of doing it right. The last thing we as hunters need is to have yet another ignorant hunter out there making us look bad. EDUCATE yourself and then you can talk intelligently about the sport.
