O.K. I'll bite. That's a very nice buck, no doubt about that. But why the intentional shoulder busting? What's the point of doing that? Not to sound hypercritical, it just seems like a bad idea.

On a quartering-to shot that is the route the arrow must take to hit the vitals square and it just so happens that it is through the shoulder blade. Germ was that an MI or OH-IO buck? LOL

MI Buck

Doegirl I shot the deer their to kill it, it was qrt too me and to hit both lungs that is where i needed to hit him.

Thats a great MI kill my friend!!! Hell thats a good deer anywhere!!!

I used to shoot an onida eagle at 80 lbs with a 2317 and shoot them in the shoulder drop them in there tracks more than once

And exactly why the front quartering angle not a recommended shot.

oh nice deer

I agree Doegirl, but Germ had no reason to think that his set-up wouldn't get sufficiant penetration since that is what he built the arrow for.

I took the similar shot this year on my buck although i aimed slightly lower and inside the shoulder blade to take out the heart and lung it was a complete pass through. Shot distance 30yards recovery 25yards
My setup: Bowtech Allegiance 28" DL 64 lbs
carbon Excel 400 8.1 gpi
4 blade 100g muzzy

I agree and your right but if you have a extreamy heavy set up and you know what your doing you get away with it i do not take these shots with my set up now but when I used to shoot my onida eagle at 80 with a 2317 and snuffer i shot one on one knee coming right at me at 15 yrds the arrow entered front of chest came out rear qwauter i new what that set up would do.
