There ins't a single deer in my whole continent, but your content is so well explained I'm becoming addicted.

As a bow hunter, we also have to consider the movement of the animal. Deer almost always drop. Basically sound is faster then an arrow. Often I will aim for the heart anticipating the impact to be higher on the animal. There are a bunch of other factors to consider as well of course.

Thank you for this video and the ebook. I think the concept of the triangle greatly helps new hunters understand where to place their shots. I prefer high shoulder shots because the animal drops more often and more quickly than with lung shots. But a lot of variables go into the decision where to put the shot aside from angle, like distance, cartridge, surroundings. I look forward to your advanced shot placement video.

Excellent. I am a rifle and bow hunter of 45+ years. i am always searching for new wisdom. I could not refute or add to any of your lesson. I highly recommend this for any hunter, especially for those that are new to the sport.

Great video! It is nice to see all the different scenarios that you do encounter when hunting. I was off center but on correct angle with a quartering away arrow shot on a doe last year. It was a fatal shot but hit all the chewed up grass...making it a bugger to clean. Thanks for sharing!

Outstanding video. First one I've seen in your series. Looking forward to the rest. I dont have the bow experience yet, but you've helped me further my competence and confidence. Thank you for your efforts!

Great video, watched all the way through, and clean, professional and kid friendly

Great video and vital information that I will share. Keep up the outstanding work!

Great information. The diagrams are fantastic

Wauw, finally someone who explains it using the right amount of words. Very instructive. Learned a lot! Thanks

What great information. I bow hunt and try to emphasize shot placement always. I personally have a knack for it myself it seems. Just never had the right answers for others. Im not a trained rifle hunter or military. Sharing this video for sure.

Thank you for the tips, I’m 16 and kinda poor so this is only my 2nd year hunting. Thanks for the tips on placement

Iam a first time hunter and by watching your videos you have answered alot of my questions. Thank you for all the good information.

Exceptional video and content! Pacing was fantastic, pdf is wonderful, and you are sharing vital knowledge. Thank you!!

Excellent, efficient video. Well done.

Good detail, and you are obviously speaking from a lot of experience. This is one of the better videos I've seen on shot placement. I bowhunt exclusively however, and the margin of error with a bow is smaller than with a rifle because the arrow travels slower than any bullet and you're killing by hemorrhaging, rather than by shock, and the arrow just doesn't have the bone-jarring/bone-breaking effect of bullets. The quartering to shots are especially problematic for archers, in that most archers are not shooting arrows with enough weight/mass to break the shoulder bone. Reloading a bow also takes longer than chambering a round (unless one is shooting a muzzle-loaded rifle), so getting second shots while the animal is still stunned are rare.

Good stuff, tips that every Hunter needs to know. Because if you hunt long enough you will encounter several of these shots

Just became subscriber #1000. Woo Hoo. More importantly, I appreciate the info and the way it was presented.

Dude! You understood the assignment, and did the work! This is the video I have been meaning to make for years, even though I don't have a channel. I wanted to get some veterinary CT scans and use that to demonstrate where organs actually lie.
