Straightarrow, I know what you are saying and I agree that practice and shot placement is so critical. However would you also agree that stuff happens on a live animals. Maybe it takes a step at the point of no return on when you release, maybe the wind is blowing and swaying the tree you are in and you don't even know it, maybe an arrow hits a tiny branch that is unseen from your stand. No matter what, there is no excuse for not preparing yourself for the hunt. And using the best setup with the most KE you can get out of your bow should not be used as an excuse not to practice because you can blow through anything. But uncontrolable stuff does happen, when you are not shooting at an indoor range using stationary targets.
