TAKE THE SHOT or NOT? - #17

Yep I would shoot

[Low Fence]

That shot is waaay high for ground level.

That was 8' @ about 8 yards. Full pass thru where the belly button would be... if a deer had one. Lol made it a whole 40 yards before dying. I'd aim 2"-3" lower for ground level

It's true that I get called to recover more quartering-to shots than anything else.

But, "aim for the exit?" Maybe I'm just underestimating the angle here but the way I see it, I would not have to aim that far forward to get both lungs. I *think* I could stick him in the right spot.
But yeah a lot of people would gut shoot the crap out of him.

It was more tongue in cheek but I'm sure you could.....

Compound yes. Recurve no.

Fair enough.

This is easy. The answer is no because this is online reality. If I was in the stand, I would hope my answer would stay the same but you never know. It is a killing shot but not many can make it. See, easy.

He needs another year anyway. I think I would pass with a bow. Gun shot to the neck would work though.

[RCDuck]

I've had that opportunity at many deer and never taken the shot... Granted, they weren't as big as that deer, but that shouldn't matter.

But, I have a question for the Green Screen.... I shoot a 72 lb bow, 32.5 inch draw, 530 grain arrow... how much does that change the possibilities of a lethal shot, as compared to something shorter and lighter?

No

Way I see it, got a couple of ways to make that shot. Hug tight and get lungs he runs but leaves great blood find him with relative ease. Or put a new muzzy and Fmj through his front shoulder and watch him pile up. Either way I'm drinkin gold tops at camp by the time everybody else gets back and I'm prolly sleeping in in the mornin!!

What about when the bow pops and he drops and starts spinning to his left before the arrow gets there?

At 17 that arrow gets there quick! But your scenario is why I take the shoulder shot he starts his left spin my arrow hits the pocket with a better shot. My opinion, I take the shot.
