RE: If he is quartering away??
It really depends as he walks, you know, one foot in front of the other.
If the furthest shoulder is back when you hit with your arrow, you risk a shoulder shot which could lead to the arrow stopping in the shoulder and not having an exit wound.
So a few variables come to mind and have been mentioned...
Degree of angle, height of your tree stand (assuming your in a tree) and where the shoulders are when you release.

Va,
I purposely wait for quartering away shots - I feel they leave a bigger margin for error. On quartering away shots I try to aim for the second rib and 99% of the time i get lodged in the off side shoulder area.

I have shot deer at every conceivable angle , I shoot them very close twenty yards is a mile in my mind. Picture a soft ball between their front shoulder blades and put an arrow there, they will not make it out of sight.

If your in the tree an he is QA then aimso the arrow will hopefully exit just behind an low on the opposite shoulder.

x3 here! I've shot probably 80% of my animals quartering away. I've done exactly as listed by AR Bowhunter or at least I tried to anyway.
Good post Big Ed!! Good info in this post to go by.

Unfortunately I could write a book on what not to do...
However since I almost gave up Archery due to bad choices (sorry to admit-reality) I have been 100% successful the past handful of years.
Someone should have picked me for that damn competition "team" "thingy", cause I'll show them why this year!!!
NH will have a P&Y to put in your fancy books!!!!

We've all been there done that, some just can't admit it! I'm glad you stuck it out or I might have never met your ass on here.
