This is proabably the best shot I ever made. I was aiming directly for the eye and I hit it!
Sorry for the bad picture but i had to use my trail camera

Question:
Why are you even aiming at the eye?I really hope it was just because you were boared.
I'd rather see a perfect heart shot. Harder target to aim for and hit.

We do this kind of stuff at the indoor range, sometimes.....just to mix it up a little.....especially on shots where the deer's head is looking away.....to add angle to the shot.
No big deal......means nothing. Good shooting.

I've done that many times myself simply beause it IS a small aim point... and I've won more than a few cold ones off my shootin' buddies with that shot.

I would take a wild guess and say it's because this is a target and that black eye is just so inviting. I've done that many times myself simply beause it IS a small aim point... and I've won more than a few cold ones off my shootin' buddies with that shot.

RE: Look at this shot at 35 yards!
I was aiming at the eye because I was bored. I was hitting the vital area so much on my target that it was just getting old. I was proud of myself cuz the arrow actually went where I wanted it anddoesnt happen very often that good.
