Ethical shot/arrow placement?
« on: October 26, 2010, 08:38:12 PM »
If a deer/elk is directly facing you and is not broadside and is within your comfortable kill range, do you guys think placing an arrow directly into the animal's chest (below the neck) is a good and ethical shot to take (irregardless of antler size of of course :-) ? What about arrow penetration?
Take up your bow, a quiver full of arrows, head out to the country and hunt some wild game.  GEN 27:3

There's a thread down the page that this very shot was discussed, called full frontal, I believe.
