    In your opinion what is the best shooting angle?
    I think the best angle is quartering away they never see you draw that way

    I prefer the deer's body at 90 degrees, and me shooting from a 25 degree angle above the deer.

    Just shoot them in the butt. Just joking not very ethical, but very affective if you hit the femoral artery. My friend shot his buck this year right through both thighs on the deer and he watched it drop all while spraying like a fire hose!!!!! Never thought I would see that happen. For me though, perfect shot is 20ft up a tree with the deer at 22 yards standing completely broadside, slight wind in my face, and of course looking the opposite way of me. How often does this happen? Ummmm, never :cry:

    I like my arrow to enter just behind the last rib and exit through the far leg, preferably from the animal's right side so that it clips the top of the heart on the way through.
