RE: Aim for the exit hole....an interactive exercise
My 2006 buck was almost exactly the scenario as #5. I was 16ft up and he was about 8yds out. I put the arrow where GMMAT put the red dot and it poked through between the brisket and offside shoulder. He was down in 100yds.

Did you read the caveat for No. 5, PT? Premise is you're 20' up, looking down. I will agree that the angle shown makes you look about 12' up.
without reading all the posts, #5 seems high to me as well

No problem, PT.....I just felt like the angle shown was from lower than I called out (20'). From the angle shown.....I like you height.....but I'd aim right of where your blue dot is.
Dead deer.
Look at that headgear! I hope I get that shot, this year!

Jeff, I got that deer on video three different times that year and wasn't going to shoot him but as the last weekend of season came he got an arrow. He was a decent deer but was only 2 1/2 andonly went in the 90's

I always shoot for the front of theopposite shoulder on a quartering away shot.
If I can see that my arrow will enter too far back on the loins on that
line to the opposite front shoulder,the deer is quartering to hard. I won't take that shot.
Great thread Jeff.
I always have trouble convincing myself to take the "quartering to" shot.

Cool exercise..looks like to much work to play along though.
Besides there are way to many tree limbs in many of them shots..yeah I know it's hypothetical

Yeah but they will lose 10 pounds in the heat! In a way, I'm glad VA's season doesn't start until October 4th. It is still warm but it is a tad cooler.
