At this angle with a good arrow E2 should get a heart shot right ?

A rifle would easyer.

I think E2 puts you too far off the side you want to shoot through the heart which is basically between the legs , your looking down on that deer E3 would be better and D3 would be my choice

D2 puts you too close to the scapula and it will stop an arrow been there done that never see a t-shirt for it

I feel like E3 is more likely to be mostly liver and take longer to bleed

I would shoot at A0, right above its eye. Or A1.

Love your style but not sure that's the best with a bow

Still works, if the range is short. Had a buck shot in the skull with an arrow that we couldn’t get the broad head to come out of the plate. It made quite the thwack sound.

E2 looks a bit too far forward. Might catch one lung but if you miss left at all might miss all vitals. I'll b more in the E,F 3,4 area. Took me till the second look to realize 2 was the line left of the number

Right where 2 and 3 and E and F lines cross

E 3 Should get both lungs and exit by off side shoulder

Agree.

Miss by a few inches and it's not pretty. If seen deer that they tried to head shoot and missed a little bit that lived or at least for awhile. Makes for cool story when it works but ugly when it doesn't. Plus a deer can move a substantial distance at the sound of the shot before arrow impact. Head shoots in a hunting situation are an ego shoot in my opinion


D2 is missing lungs and heart.

I think some of u are thinks the 2 line is right of the number

3 is going to exit in front of off shoulder 4 is going to right on shoulder

I wasn’t speaking to ethics, more to killing.

4 will miss the near side lung

And 2 will miss off side lung and barely catch near side lung

bottom right of block E 3 Not shooting shooting at the lines

It pains me to agree with Boco and BC but they have it right this time.

Don't over think it . The kill zone of a deer is roughly the size of a basketball. The cutting size of todays broadheads gives you some leeway. The range can change the angle of entry also. Shortest track job I ever had on a bow kill was G5/6 area . Deer whirled and when arrow hit it looked like a balloon filled with blood exploded. Deer went about 20 yards

My deer always seem to drop at the shot. That’s quite a bit of quartering away too. I’m aiming for the red dot…if he drops I still got lungs. One definite and clipping the other. When it runs, you’ll know if it’s the heart because if you didn’t make a sound before shooting he’ll fall within sight. If it runs out of sight it’s the lungs. The last 5 deer with archery fell within 3ft of impact to 60yds.

Because of the angle, I would shoot at E2 for an upper heart shot.
