From ground level, it's almost hard to be too low. If you get into the chest cavity, you're in the heart. I shot this doe from the ground, and thought I was too low, but she only made it about 40 yards and had the biggest blood trail I've ever seen.

Quartering away/Front Leg Forward Shot Placement

When a deer reacts, it always goes down, never up. You almost can’t shoot too low if your windage is on (from a ground blind; it would be different from an elevated stand). If you aim low, and a deer does move, you are in the middle and he is still dead. If you aim in the middle and he moves, you hit him too high, and there is a good chance you never see him again!!!!

I don't aim for the rear leg when its back that far. I'd rather the arrow go through the heart, and pass through.
Had a similar shot on #2....hit at B and barely clipped the base of the heart....dead at 60 yards. Thankful for Grim Reapers width on that day.
Fast forward to 1:20
