High angle shot placement

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

If i cant hit the heart in that angle at 30 and under every shot i will quit bow hunting, deer are not thick heavy boned animals that are hard to kill, a sharp one piece fixed blade and i can shoot through them stem to stern with 52 lbs 30 yards in

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.

No , not enough practice and people not controlling themselves in the heat of the moment is why. That deer is heart shot 100 out of a 100, 30 and in. You boys keep passing and i will keep killing

Killed plenty. I'll keep passing because I'm interested in taking ethical shots for ethical kills. Wait 30 seconds and he will turn for an ethical shot.

No more ethical than a heart shot

I agree just not at that angle. There's a pile of issues that can happen at that angle. Are you good enough for that shot? You seem to be, but that vast majority of people aren't. And will pile drive right in the shoulder and not find the deer. Or hit way back and give up before they find the deer. Look no further then the trail camera section and look at the shoulder hit deer that are still walking around. Wait 2 seconds and let him turn broad side or quartering away.
