My uncle had a nice buck at 15 yds facing right at him. He drew and decided not to shoot.I was skeptical if whether the arrow could make it through the brisket. Ill do a test sometime and see. I voted yes simply because the question didnt say how sharp the angle was.

Definately. I have always thought that if you are confident in your shot and equipment, don't be afraid to take a shot. It's all about shot placement.

The Buck I took this year was a qautering too shot. It wasn't that steep of an angle but at 20 yards I knew I could put it through. It was a double lung with good blood easy track.I would do it again. But a differant angle maybe not.

I voted yes only because I have done it successfully. I was high in a tree and the buck was only slightly quartered. It only ran 50 yards and went down.

I agree with the fact that there are multiple factors to consider but for my comfort level I would not take a shot at a deer that is giving me a hard quartering to shot. I have taught myself to be patient and most of the time it has paid off.

I'd have to see the shot first. Then I'd let you know. I've shot 84 deer with a bow. I've never had to take a shot that I considered quartering to. Doesn't mean I wouldn't. I usually wait until I see what I want. Patience Grasshopper. I voted YES

Yes, but it would depend on the angle

Only if I wanted to wound a deer, walk miles tracking it, and dissappointed in the end.

If it is mostly broadside, slight quartering too, then maybe u would reconsider.
