No problem at all with this shot under the circumstances. People have this perception that deer are this magical creature thathasanunpenetrable scapula. Its simply not the case.

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

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

I have takenvery similar shots on much smaller deer ,I too know what my setup will do and it probably wouldn't have good results on this animal.

I see nothing wrong with that shot, it's not a dead on chest shot doegirl, penetrating the shoulder blade is not that hard to do if you pull the right weight and heavy arrows, question is....could a Rage do this???????[

Well, while I still don't quite agree with intentional shoulder shots, everyone here seems to know it takes a stout setup to pull it off. I'll stick with rib bustin'.
Now back to Germ, since it is his thread.

The key here is do not try to take this shot if you can't shoot through the shoulder.It is quite possible to slip the arrow in behind the shoulder and catch lung(depending on angle) BUT,the arrow will exit through the guts and you have a good chance of only hitting 1 lung and having the intestines plugging the exit hole.

I also shoot a carbon express terminator tippped with a 125 muzzy and I would have no problem pulling off that shot.500 grns total arrow weight at 260 fps packs a wallop.All the tv shows has everyone brainwashed into thinking that evry detail has to be perfect before taking a shot,which we who hunted for years knows that is rarly the case.You must be able to make the tricky shots sometimes because nobody has told the deer the rules yet or if they have been told the rules they don't play by them.
