I'm practicing different shot angles with my glen del buck. I'm shooting from 10' off the ground currently. Recently moved the target to 30 yards slightly quartering away and it is "walking" to my right where I'm shooting. It's a shot too difficult for me to currently try in the woods but I want to master it in practice. I think I'm supposed to look at the exit side of the target in order to judge my shot placement. Is this a correct assumption? My problem is that I'm aiming at the opposite shoulder but it seems to my eyes that my arrows are missing heart and lungs and actually exiting the opposite shoulder. I'll try to post a picture tonight. I welcome opinions on shot placement. Thanks in advance. The fall will be my second season with a compound bow.
Don't worry about where arrow enters/exits as where it crosses the middle of the deer...like you say, the heart. Look from the top down to see where it crosses. BUT first you should know where the heart is when looking from the top. You may be surprised.
Like Whitetail said. Visualize the internal organs. Ideally you want to take out both lungs. If you do that everything usually happens pretty quickly.
