Was this poor judgement for shot placement?

I would have taken that shot. I'm sure there's some who disagree. The shot placement looked good to me. Maybe could have been a couple of inches forward.

I just never thought you should shoot them in the back

I wouldn't take that shot. He pretty much smoked its left lung, I just prefer pass thru's and short tracking jobs!!. I guess if you have enough speed and ke you can do enough damage with a less than perfect shot.:noidea:

Yes, Ive taken this very same shot, with mechanicals
The fixed i use to shoot, Im not sure i would take the shot,but with my rockets opening 2 inchs and that arrow wobbling inside of him,I took this same shot with no pass threw the deer went 50yds!:biggrin1:

I have taken that shot a couple of times... Both times hit the spine and they dropped in there tracks.

He must of missed the spine but end results looked good. might of been a hard track job, unless the arrow stuck though the bottom of the deer.

I would take it. It worked for him.

I would take it. It looked like he had a good angle toward the front of the lung area where the heart is, although the arrow didn't seem to penetrate all that far so I'm not sure what vital(s) he actually hit. Yeah, left lung probably but heart ? I don't think it went far enough in.

I've never been close to a shot like that but I've done enough homework to feel Ok about it if it presents itself.

yup, i would take it in a heart beat and have a few times.....always works out for the best, in my case anyway.....

all depends on how comfortable you are with that shot. If ya dont think you cam make it. dont try it. I practice this shot on a 3d target in my stand. Havent had a chance on a buck yet. But have taken a few does with this shot..

took the lung , i would take it ..... horns on the wall and meat in the freezer
