15 more pages of pissing and point proving..............:eek:. I have a new found respect for GMMAT's ability to piss further than anyone else on earth.

As for the shot, you can't argue with the outcome but it is not where I would have aimed. Like others have said, I like it tucked up a little closer to the arm pit and a slight bit higher if I were 23' up.

No, that is not ALL you said. You said the photo was misleading to new hunters and it is not. You said the shoulder cavity is surrounded by a cartilage plate. You then questioned another posters anatomy knowledge. The green dot is no where near the shoulder either.

So I ask again, where are the three cartilage locations in the shoulder area of a deer? I'm not going to answer the questin for you. Just describe the anatomy of the shoulder.

Wow, I haven't been on here much lately.....nice to see things haven't changed much! [:-]

I love it when GMMAT and GregH go at it! It keeps things interesting around here...:D

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

Quartering away, that was a good shot. Your distance to recovery backs up the fact that it was a good shot.

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

I'd have to say it was a "perfect" shot. One lung,heart dead deer. What may have not been perefect was your original intended placement, although it probably would have been double lung. What exactly is perfect? You wanted a heart shot? Perfect! You were aiming for Dbl lung, you missed! Dead deer either way. Hunting is not target shooting for points. The ultimate goal is to put the animal down ASAP. This you did. That's a "perfect" shot in the deer woods maybe not at a 3-d shoot.

That makes a bit more sense to me. I missed the other thread. I couldn't figure out what this had to do with anything, especially some of the arguing going on. Sailed right over my back just like the arrow I shot at a 9pt back in late October. :eek:[:@]

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

I think any shot that hits the heart and drops the deer within 50 yds is something to be proud of.

Like many others have said, a touch further forward would have been better, IMO.

Is this closer to the muzzy hole or the green dot?
