Because it's such a low percentage shot that it would make the animal run if it's bad, instead of the shooter backing out and letting him lie down. I'm most appalled by it as a first shot, however.

Femoral? artery right there......did it 20 years ago with a .270 on a mule deer. It turned and ran 50 yards down hill, looked like it kicked in after burners, blowin out all its blood......that thing was blood free when it hit the ground....best eating deer ever. I dont look for that shot as a bowhunter or even with a rifle, but it presented itsself and I took it with great results. My guess is I will never see or take that shot again. :twocents:

I would take it all day long with a rifle, I haven't seen it not work with a rifle.
With a bow, it just doesn't seem right for me. But, then again, they don't die of heart attacks.

How many on here can 1-say exactly where that artery is and 2-hit a target that size every time. 2nd or follow up shot....maybe.
