He woulda dropped into that one!OK, I'll play. First shot of the day. Sixteen yards, 56# Northern Mist longbow.
Have u got a sunburn yet or u wearing a hat.....hahahahajaI orchestrated a high stakes shoot with some friends a few weeks ago. The challenge was one cold sixty yard shot. Looser had to shave their head. My heart was pounding as hard as any buck fever I have ever had!

I think the safest shot to go for is a low heart shot. That way if they drop you should get them through the lungs. If they don't drop you get a heart shot. I had a buck broadside at 12 yards and looking at me when I hit full draw two season's back. I was on the ground, and he was looking dead at me, and I just knew he would drop the instant I let the string go so I aimed under his armpit behind the front leg. I assumed this is where his vitals would be when the arrow got there. He didn't twitch and the arrow sailed right under his body, just where I was aiming. You just never know.
I have also had seemingly calm deer swap ends so fast you wouldn't believe it.
My thought is low heart so if they duck you are hitting either some part of the heart or the lungs above. If you aim top of the heart, you might get top of the lungs or spine. If they don't duck, you still get heart.low heart shot? most folks advocate high heart shot for this reason
