New pics/shot added page 6. Would you take this shot?

Bad shot.  Just because you can hit an immobile foam target does not mean you can do the same with a real live deer.  A perfect arrow will go through the vitals.  Are you really that good that your arrow will hit exactly where it needs to be and not be off a few inches?

[Big Lefty]

No dice!

[Stump73]

Nope

[BAK]

Not likely

[mt-tom]

No, but not for the reason you think.  I'm afraid of heights and don't hunt from tree stands.

Another scenario. The deer is just inside the corn. He is completely  unaware. You are on a ground hunting seat just 8 yards away. 1 corn stalk is perfectly aligned with his heart. The set up is a carbon arrow with 250 gr 3 blade VPA. Total arrow weight  645 gr. Recurve bow  57@31. It's dead calm and you have not yet drawn the bow.

I don't know if I would take the corn shot or not just impressed with how high it is considering your wet cool summer!

[mt-tom]

I would not take that shot with my longbow.

My first shot wasn't great. I stopped at the gym on the way home from work to lift and that makes it hard to shoot well.
The next two were right in there.
I would take this shot for sure.

ignore the vitals on the target. The insert has multiple sides.
Also I have only moved it carefully a few times and already the legs fall off if you look at it wrong. Not impressed with it. The horns fall off when you shoot it.

You would either be labeled a hero or a zero, more likely the second in a live situation.

Is it possible yes, is it worth in maybe, but I'd have to pass and hope for a better shot or another deer.

Scenario 3.  You are seated at 20 yards from the deer. he is quartering away from you. The sun is bad.

Fun training aids.  Go one step further.  The tree line belongs to your neighbor who feeds the deer and does not allow hunting.  BTW, the buck has a 200" rack.  Do you shoot ?

I'm not going to able to shoot well tonight after working out at Golds. I could see the vitals clearly when I drew and anchored. Quatering away is nice!

I know exactly what I said....you looked into it deeper than intended and became offended

[Tedd]

Last scenario for tonight. Damn legs keep collapsing on my deer target!
Again, on your ground hunting stool. It's a mountain buck, he is wandering on an oak flat eating acorns, no deer trail to set up on. He feeds closer then sees something he doesn't like. Facing you.

 

[Tedd]

20 paces. I'm pretty sure he would whirl at the shot if he is already alert.

With the exception of possibly the second to last I'd hold off on a deer.  I do, and would enjoy shooting these scenarios at 3-D shoots

[Michael Arnette]

Yea, fun stuff with 3d but I'd wait on a broad side type shot. The corn stalk shot yes, I had a shot similar to that one on last years mature buck and subconsciously trying too hard to miss the tree made me hit too far back I think.
