[QUOTE="jkupper, post: 855745, member: 61637"] I had a similar experience last year, and it was also a short shot, around 75 yards. I had a doe quartering away a bit in some trees. I hurried to make the shot, even though there was no hurry. In my hurry, I used a poor rest, and ended up shooting the deer just in front of the hind quarter. The bullet passed through the guts, and came out on the other side just in front of the diaphragm. The deer laid down, and I got a better rest and shot her again in the neck to finish her off. That experience made me recognize that I can't take any shots for granted, and that I need to put the same effort into a short shot as I would a long one. [/QUOTE]
