    Quartering away/Front Leg Forward Shot Placement

    I know a lot of us here like a slightly quartering away shot or at least for the shot side leg to be forward to reveal the vitals a little better. I am curious, for the pictures below, where would your point of aim be on these deer? You can just give your answers for pictures 1-3. I know that the height may not be exactly what you would aim for, but I am more curious about the left and right. I have been given advice to "Aim for the arm pit" but I have also been given advice to "aim for the exit placement on the opposite shoulder". I have been hunting for many years, but It never hurts to learn a little. Thanks.

    Not really answering your question, but there is an excellent thread titled “straight up the leg” I think that you could search for

              So your answers would be B, C, B?

                Straight up the leg but a little higher. If you exit through or into the opposite shoulder blade they go down right there or therabouts.

                  If heart shooting...


                  1. A
                  2. Between A and B
                  3. Between A and B


                  I don't aim for the rear leg when its back that far. I'd rather the arrow go through the heart, and pass through.



                  Had a similar shot on #2....hit at B and barely clipped the base of the heart....dead at 60 yards. Thankful for Grim Reapers width on that day.

                    No, I’m talking about a broadside shot. Realize not what he’s asking, but that thread is worth the time to read

                          I'll take A in all 3! In thre first pic, the near side leg needs to be a little more forward.

                              Thanks for the answers so far. From my experience, I think I would aim between A&B, between B&C, and B. Last year, I had a shot just like in picture #2. I hit him probably between A&B (But a little higher), the the arrow lodged in the opposite front of the shoulder, hitting one lung, but the deer survived. I shot him three weeks later with a rifle. Keep them coming.
