Having just finished an AZ Elk hunt, and immediately heading off to MT for a deer/antelope hunt, I decided to stick with what my eye was used to hunt with the 710 gr arrows and single bevel NO MERCY’s. I found while sitting water that I kept getting the quartering-on drinking shots on antelope and passed them waiting for the side shot that never came. After aganizing, I finally figured my “set up” should be substantial enough to handle the blade of an antelope and took the shot on a quartering on, head down and front lower than the rear end shot.
I must say, the sonic crack of that arrow hitting the shoulder blade with an immediate drop of the buck was amazing. I wouldn’t try this on anything larger than a deer sized animal, but now with my setup and minimal yardage (20 and in), I would feel confident….The pick is posted on the trophy page.
