I have to apologize. I do not know how far the shot was. I don't want to start rumors about him shooting 100yds.

Not sure I'd take that shot, but at 15 ft with a compound set up well you can split arrows.  He may have been real comfortable with the shot.  My only worry would be if the deer moved right as I was releasing.

I'm not defending the kid because based on his history on the site I don't know that he deserves to be defended about anything.  However, it's possible that the head shot was a second shot to put it down.  I shot a buck in 2010 and single lunged him, right before dark all I had was a 30 yard head shot from the rear and put two arrows through his skull to put him down for good.

I took a shot a a spike elk one year that was broad side. Right when i pulled the trigger he turned and I drilled him in the back of the head and down he went. If he ran the way he was facing I would have shot over his back and he would still be alive.

I took a throat shot on a deer last year and it spun as soon as I shot. My arrow struck in the back of the head at the base of the skull. That deer went a long ways and the tracking was tough but we got it. Everyone has or will make a bad choice while hunting I agree a head shot is not the best shot to take with a bow but it got the job done and he has a nice buck to show for it!
Remember that buck is climbing that Mt. every day!
