    Got to aim almost at the spine. I think 10 yard shots are same as using your 25 yard pin.

    Backed out. Short version is I have 3 arrows in a doe and I don't want to push her any further. I hate not getting a clean kill. Broke her shoulder with first shot and I guess my follow up hit a branch and hit gut. I'm not sure about the 3rd shot. She went down, but I'm afraid to push her onto the neighbors. So I'm giving her some time just in case.

    Ouch! Sounds like a good plan. How much time you thinking g of giving her? Lets hope that shoulder hit got into some good stuff and puts her down.

    Thanks, and you were right. Just had a forkie at 40 but he's safe from me. In more ways than one!

    You guys have been bow hunting longer than I have, but when I have a deer at 8-10 yards I aim dead on “at the exit hole”with my 20 yard pin even 30 feet up.

    I screw up a lot, but if I get to full draw with a deer at 10 yards that deer has made its last mistake.

    That’s probably the one thing I haven’t screwed up on when it comes to bow hunting.
    Now that I’ve said that Lady Luck is probably saying “Hold my beer and watch this.”

    Ngl I thought of you and pin cushion. I don't know how she wasn't dead in 2 minutes after the first shot. 18 yards. Just a gimme that has gone completely sideways.

    I had her clean broadside here at 25, but her brown body against brown dirt with gray pre dawn light I was having a hard time delineating her body lines from the background. Then she turned and browsed straight towards me at full draw the whole time until she finally turned and was more or less broadside at inside 10 yards from bottom of my tree but I'm probably 25 feet up from her level.

    Oh well, it's not even October yet.

    Good luck on the track West and ridge. Congrats on the doe mongo.
    Sorry about the buck Holt. At least good chance of deer to survive.

    Think I got everyone, lol.

    Well...she was laid over seemingly dead and I reached out to poke her with my bow and she bolted and fell and tried to run some more. Now I can't see her so I'm just sitting here next to a pine tree hating myself.

    I love 10 yard shots! At this point I don't even know how much I aim at that distance, its almost instinct, Haha. I do exactly like you, I aim for the exit.

    Slight hunter inaccuracy and slight animal movement at the shot can lead to all kinds of crap. We have all done it. Go get that doe!

    100% correct- my arrow went exactly where I was aiming and I was using my 25yd sight dot.
    I've been bow hunting for most of 30 years and still learning all the time.

    @Ridgerunner3 sorry you took my advice.

    Now do what I do and not what I say (which means stick 2 more arrows in her.)

    Best advice right there… if you aim for the exit, you do not have to adjust anything
