Do you aim low on a deer? - 09/08/14 01:28 PM
I have seen (on tv, never bowhunted before) and read that deer tend to crouch a little when they hear the bow shot, and some people miss high with their shot.
Wondering if you aim a little lower in the body to account for this or do you just shoot center of mass and hope the deer doesn't duck your shot?
Just trying to be able to coach my son appropriately. In theory, there should be less than a quarter of a second the deer could potentially move from the release to the hit (assuming a shot around 30 yards or less), so I imagine aiming straight away is the best thing, but just curious what you all do.
