Of all the bad shots that a person could take, that one is the worst one.  Heart and lungs are the best shots. Its easer than you think to wound an animal with a bow. If you have been bowhunting for a while you will find this a fact.  You owe it to the animal to make clean humane kill.

I've shot 6 or 7 deer with a bow 4 of them I shot in the head at 40yrds. 3 dropped in their tracks one went 30yrds before it died.

eventually some end up on the media for all to see the horror - just like when we lost hound hunting and body gripping traps

So pratice pratice pratice and my advice is skip the apple sized target surrounded by hard bone and shoot for the soft boiler room

eventually you end up with this, this animal died a slow painful one

Hunting and Archery especially archery has become a target in the news media. Anti hunters love this kind of ammunition to take to the public and try to take away your hunting rights.  Your animal that you hunt out of respect for the animal and life itself it deserves a humane kill. With a rifle it is a great shot, with a bow it is a stupid shot and does not show good hunting skills.  I have been bowhunting for almost 50 years and the only head shot I did was by accident, I would never brag about it.  I love archer and I would love to see everybody bowhunting for another 50 years.

I don't think there is any time a head shot should be taken with a bow. the margin of error is to great. I have had a nice 5 point bull at less than 10 yards with only his upper neck and head showing. No way was I going to take that shot. I couldn't live with knowing I let my ego control how I make a shot decision.
