Whats the deal? Quartering to shots
I am noticing that on more and more shows on TV this is becoming an acceptable shot to take. What's the deal? Is this shot now all the sudden acceptable? I would never take it myself, but would like to hear what all of you think about it or have noticed the same thing I have on these shows.

Unless its a monster and I think its the last chance, there is NO WAY I would take a quartering to shot. To not hit the shoulder, and get a good vital shot, the margin of error is soooo small its ridiculous. I thinksome of it is over confidence in large diameter cutting broadheads.

It depends on the angle to me. A mild quarter-to, is ok, but a sharp quarter-to is a mistake, especially with a mechanical as the ribs are designed to have a better tolerance of a "frontal" attack, and you're less likely to get good penetration and more likely to have a glancing wound based purely on the way the ribs themselves are designed.

You guys have to consider that most of these guys are not hunting for the meat or even a trophy. They are doing so to make and sell videos and get on TV. Therefore they have to shoot something. There's big money involved.

They are taking the shots but they are also getting the deer. I think it's hare to argue with that.
