RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

I don't know how much "slightly" quartering is, but......I think it's a tad back.....But not a bad shot by any means. I would think it's certainly a lung shot.

Don (others)....if it was "back".....what would I have hit, internally?

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

I bet u punched em in the heart huh, or did you clip the liver if you were indeed a little back

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

Which side of the body is the liver on? Isn't it the left?? In which case you would have missed that I believe....

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

Fair enough.....but do you stand by this (which was the reason I asked the question)?

Mobow, your right, there are not absolutes as we were not there, didn't see the deer. I try to stay off that shouder as a deers reaction time is incredible and can actually catch the arrow as it passes through the animal, send it right behind that shoulder angling forward and it's going to be a short track job.

The green dot to me seems to be slightly forward on a quartered away deer depending on everyones degree of quartered away. On a broadside shot, the green dot is still a touch forward to my liking and actually higher than I like.

Come down an inch and dead center between the two and I'm watching my deer die in sight and sitting down in my treestand shaking like a leaf...LOL

I'd say any kill shot with a bow is a good one, especially when you recover it within 50 yards.

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

a lot of these guys are saying far back, but i think for a quartering away deer, thats a perfectly fine shot. i wouldnt mind if my arrow got em there.

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

Jeff I never said it was a bad shot in the Rage thread. All I said was if it was completely broadside your shot would of been a little far back and thus that would of been a good reason why your deer didn't bleed like you wished it would of. If it was broadside your BH of choice shouldn't be at fault for lack of blood. If it wasn't broadside but quartering away instead, excellent shot!! You take things to heart all the time. Not once did I criticize your shot. Geesh!!

RE: Would you be proud of this shot?
 

Exactly, Rob. And it may not be far back at all, depending on how much it was quartering.
