Aim low or right on target

[Terry Green]

Can't vote...each shot is different....each animal is different, each scenario is different.....have to make the choice when the opportunity arises.

Always where I want to hit, which is pretty low (crease behind the leg).  I have only shot unalarmed deer at pretty close range, so none yet have sqatted and caused a miss.  Any misses have been strictly MY fault.    :rolleyes:   If they are already alarmed and jumpy, I typically just pass.  Not saying it will always be that way, just has been so far.  I wouldn't want to try and second guess a deer 'cause I can't even second guess myself with any success.

Texas deer, lower third.  They be moving pretty quick!

Gonna put a sticker on my bow just above the handle reading,"PICK A SPOT!" Seems to be my problem all too often.

The Red Dot is were I aim at TX Deer....

Look at what happens if you aim where you want to hit (yellow dot)...

   TX Buck runs the Script...

Terry,

That really demonstrates the speed of the "ducking" of a whitetail.  Man, they can move quick!  Thanks for posting the video!

On the ground... Tight lower thirdas in RC explains the crease...

From a stand, I try to aim to exit lower third exit-side...

I voted right on target but my "on target" is low tight in the crease behind the elbow, like RC said!! Also to aim for the heart is tough on a broadside deer unless leg is foreward a bit as that leg/elbow protects it pretty good. Shawn

Terry, Curt has told me that! (LOL) Shawn

Years ago I hit real big buck right where I was looking, the right side drop tine. Since then I shoot for the bottom half of the heart,

If you hunt down here in Texas very long you will pick a spot as low as you think you can get away with. No matter if the deer is 5 yards or what. It seems that if you choose to take a shot very far you need to guess which direction they will run off to and try and lead them. That's an exageration but it does seem that way.

I think my deer here in MS must have come from TX!

Dan Quillian told me once while we were hunting in south GA that he shot for the angle where the lower body line meets the front leg. Even with a quiet bow and at close range, they tend to drop before the arrow gets there.

I can remember shooting under only two deer, one of which was just last year. I've missed a few more than that.
