I was moving my deer target around for challenging shots and came up with this one. Would you take this shot? Close range shot, fairly high tree stand. Not trying to start an argument. Just a debate.

Probably wait as he's bound to give a better shot regardless of where he goes next coupled with the fact there isn't a whole lot to block the shot.

I'd pass on that one for sure. I won't take a shot that doesn't look like a sure thing. Even then, things can sometimes change before the arrow gets there.

Aiming at the seam. Seems like a path to the vitals. BW PCH 57@31 Gold Tip .340 stock insert with 250 gr point.

Nope. Upper leg bone and shoulder blade block just about everything that's vital. Angle is steep enough to cause the arrow to skim the chest or side. Maybe your arrow finds a clear way in, maybe it doesn't. If the critter coils at all at the shot, it's a scapula hit. May be anyway.

Hard to tell where your arrows are impacting. Half of that large white area we see from above is the other side of the animal. Just for the heck of it, show us a pix of those arrows from a horizontal perspective.

The vitals section is in upside down…or backwards. It was an assembled floor model, it came that way and I just never fixed it.

dead deer. I probably would wait for him to move off a little too

Orion · « **Reply #11 on:** June 28, 2015, 08:57:00 PM »

OK, you read my mind. To my way of thinking, you've hit the scapula with every arrow. If not, or if you get through it, it's a dead critter. I wouldn't chance it, myself.

Just not a good shot for me due to the shoulder.

Good shooting, but I agree with everyone so far, to much bone, you'll catch one lung, maybe the back of the other on an angle like that. More than likely you'll go through the diaphragm and probably plug up thelat bottom hole. For me.... I'd wait it out just my opinion

I killed a buck last fall in a very similar position. He was just angled toward my right instead of left as in your set up. I watched him go down within sight. My arrow missed the scapula and got both lungs due to the slight across the body angle.

I would agree to wait for a little bit better angle than you are showing here, although it is probably a doable shot.

Looks like the best case would be a single lung hit...I'd have to pass for sure...I don't like any shot that is quartering toward me...BeauJ

I would definitely pass.
