OK, RTA and Charlie, I am also confused on your points. But here is another point made that I get confused on.
To each his own I guess. I know the QA shot is a popular choice but from my experiences I'll stick with broadside or even slightly quartering towards whenever possible.
You are promoting taking a quartering to against a quartering away shot??????? [

Please help BowFanantic, there are a lot of confused archers around.
