I would shoot in the dot on the first two. I would pass on the last one, I don't like that angle.

My heavy Silvertip with the arrows I've got for it, I would shoot all of them on the dots.

I like them all but on the first one I wouldn't worry if I was a
Touch back of your spot. I would aim for the off side front leg on the goat and shot your shoot me spot on the antelope for sure. The last one would accept and arrow nicely through that front shoulder.

Thanks again for the pics I have been waiting and watching for the next Addition so keep them coming.

Ahhh this thread could keep goin' until fall for all I care   :)  

OK on the sheep...that is tough! I like a little farther back and maybe a little higher. I want to bury that 600 gr shaft into that offside shoulder but stay out of the "junk in tha trunk" this ram has. Say about here:

 

Now the quartering away goat I want to get as close to the aft part of the opposite leg as possible. I want the arrow exiting in the forward 3rd of the left lung and entering mid-lung on this side. Say here:
 

*To me that 3rd shot on the slightly quartering to goat is perfect. Again if this was the exiting side the entrance hole is where? Like that shot bud    :thumbsup:

I am shooting them all. The only one I would do any different is the number 2 shot and I would shoot him 1-2 inches further back and 1 inch higher.

I'm with Steadman here, like the spots, drive the arrow home.
May your arrow always fly true and your hunt be an adventure.


Shoot Straight,

I think all three are a shot that can be made and would result in quick death for the critter. I am shooting for the off shoulder on all three. Also I want to be in the lower 1/3 of the critter as well.

For when you shoot them high, most of the time you can say good bye; as in you don't often find them.

I am ok with the dots posted by both Steadman and Wapiti792.

Thanks for doing this Steadman, these are fun threads!!!!

I would shoot on all 3 - just give me a chance.    :D   Picked just a hair higher on Shots 1 and 3, but where you picked is just as lethal.

I'd shoot 'em all.  Like the spots you put up.  I personally wouldn't go higher on the Ram as it appears to be an uphill shot.  I hit only about 3" high of my spot on a Muley buck on an uphill shot and arrow went into no mans land.  That buck was tracked and eventually killed...so from now on for me it's a low hold on any unhill shot.

Keep 'em coming Ryan.
