High angle shot placement

[DomG]

From X but I figured it's value might be appreciated.

I picked 3D because gravity is the primary force that brings a projectile from the arc, back to the point of aim.

I believe (I could be wrong) elevated targets or shooters usually hits higher than 1:1 flat shooting.

No shot at that angle. High odds of wounded buck with no retrieval. Wait a few seconds and you get a broadside shot.

Not taking that shot. Asking for trouble.

Bust out the Nikon z5. Crank it down to f2.8 and get a real nice shot. He's eating so shutter speed can stay relatively low. Camera is the only thing you are getting a decent shot with at that moment.

No to bow.
C3 with the 308
Personally wouldn't take that shot.

I'm waiting until the left leg comes forward

Quartering too shots are very low probability shots with archery equipment. If possible wait for a better angle. With that said if I had to shoot it would be c2 with a good fixed blade head or if I was shooting mechanicals (which I won't anymore) it would be D2

C3, dead deer. No excuses

 

[fairchaser]

C2 if it's close and the shot is true. Dead deer,

Exactly

C# with a rifle, no ethical shot with a bow.

C# with a rifle, no ethical shot with a bow.

Dead within 50yards is pretty ethical

yeah, "if" no deflection on shoulder or upper leg bone. what's the rush to shoot? this is my opinion, others may differ. i'm not taking that angle shot with a bow, ever.

This. This is why there's a person asking for a dog all the time.

Shot angles are extremely important in bow hunting. And part of bow hunting.

I'll take C3 for $800, Alex……

C3

Smoke that front leg with vitals behind it and it's game over

i like watching those dogs work, enjoy seeing that the animal is recovered instead of turning into coyote food. but i'm noticing more and more the shot placement on most of them. they don't tell you how far the shot was, was the deer moving, how FAST is it moving ? in several, the dog handler can be heard saying "yeah, i got blood here" while following the dog. he's not even trying to track the deer, he's just ambling along behind the hound and HE sees blood. ???
