If he is quartering away??
You know I got to thinking and out all the deer I have killed with the bow, I have never shot one quartering away. Where is the best plae to put it if this comes up this year. I want pics or diagrams or something. Say the deer is anywhere from 8-25 yds...

"Look" at the opposite shoulder as your aiming point when a deer is quartering away. Works well for me.

RE: If he is quartering away??
like said above, aim for other side of shoudler... it all depends how quartering away he really is...
|
RE: If he is quartering away??
exactly, just aim for the opposite shoulder
|
RE: If he is quartering away??
Try to invision the path of the arrow to dictate where you want to place the arrow.
|
RE: If he is quartering away??
anyone find any how to pics?? lets say he is quartering not too much, but enough to make you stop and think.
|
RE: If he is quartering away??
If your in the tree an he is QA then aimso the arrow will hopefully exit just behind an low on the opposite shoulder.

There is many degrees of quartering away most you can just aim for the opposite shoulder.Sometimes the shot angle could make it difficult to hit vitals without hitting paunch first(pic 3)but it can be done.

does this help, VA?

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. |
RE: If he is quartering away??
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.:)

Regardless of the deer'sposition I always envision the location of the heart and that's where I try to put the arrow.

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!!!!  |

Anywhere fro the back of the last rib to the armpit/crease and you should be gravy. If possible use the opposite side leg as a point of reference, go through at it or just behind and it's backstraps for dinner.
