shot placement

[royden]

I got all kinds of questions

What western state has a late june season for mulies?

(not NY spiker)


What is up with the arrow drop? should be more than that for 190 fps - so I'm gonna assume someone's chrony is off and drop is what the drop is.


I also would have to wait - although the middle deer is tempting (5" of arrow drop in those 3 yards - have to remember that!)

;D yeah yeah.....sue me!

With that drop....where would your point of aim be?
Whjat would happen if you aimed there and released?
hmmmmm

I have no idea............but i know what would happen with the Vulcan

O.K.....here is the scenario I am seeing.....

If I had the recurve that might cover this situation....the point of aim on the rear deers nose would drop the arrow low into the chest cavity of the center deer.
The arrow launch wouldn't have a chance of hitting the rear deer and because it is coming straight at it's eye , the flight wouldn't be readily picked up.
Worse case , I can see the rear deer picking up the shot and stepping back out of the way while the center deer is trapped by the forward deer.
I am not counting on the trap to keep that center deer there but I don't see as the center deer is likely to simply move forward at the last moment because of that first deers location.
The first two look very calm and the only deer that is likely to move is the one that least matters.

Yes ...I know.... dumb shot but .....

I have no idea either - that's why I would have to wait. Those deer have something pegged (me I believe cause each one of their left ears is turned directly at the camera) and the middle deer is looking nervous. Relaxed, I would be real tempted to take the shot on the middle deer - holding on the upper third expecting the arrow to drop 5" in the last 3 yards.

I'm gonna say NO, based on the bow specs. The bows doing about 190fps, you'll probably get 5-6 inches of drop from 30 to 33 yds, and that's assuming you judged the distance perfectly. They're looking right at you, those deer WILL see you draw and duck that slow arrow. Good possibility of a wounding shot. And why did I not notice that there was a page 2 to this thread?

I am seeing this image as the deer to the left having something to my left in his view while the rear deer is looking nearly at me.
The center deer doesn't see anything...just reacting to the other two.

The Buck spotted you and headed off on a trot.
You come to full draw , whistle and he stops at 35 yards out.
Where are you aiming? ..... shot or no shot?

[SPIKER]

Ok, I dropped the ball on that second one there...doh!

Now, as for this guy at 35 yds...the release happens at the moment of the stop to look back...right between where you can see the opposite front leg, and the front leg....there's a crease a bit closer to the opposite front leg....

[BT]

Is that bump on the facing side it rear leg?....I think it is
