[QUOTE="Turpentine21, post: 2960447, member: 124909"] I really think that with the steep angle he pulled that shot forward and high which doesn't take much to get far forward with an angle that steep. He admitted he did not hit the deer where he intended and evidently he had underestimated the angle. Odd for him because he has killed well over 1000 deer in his life with archery, buckshot, and rifle. Just proof positive it can happen to anyone. Most of his deer never take a step after the shot. I usually on quartering shots shoot for the offside shoulder or to transect the lungs which may actually result in an exit in front of or behind offside shoulder on a quartered animal. All depends on the angle. The prettiest archery shot I ever made was an instinctive (no sights) shot on a buck at just a hair over 40 yards. I lobbed that heavy 2219 in there with a Patriot two blade head and watched my fletching disappear 4" behind the last rib on the left side. The arrow exited 6" in front of the right shoulder. It flipped out with his first jump and fell to the ground. Complete pass through. He made it about 60 yards, stopped, started wobbling, and that was that. It had caught liver and lungs on the way through And left a great blood trail. [/QUOTE]
