Head-On Shots
A straight-on shot can be effective if your firearm is already positioned for the shot. However, they rarely result in a clean kill and ruin a lot of meat.
For large game, aim for the center of the chest.
This shot should not be taken by bowhunters because of the reduced chance of hitting a vital organ.
Quartering-Away Shots
The quartering-away shot is when your target is facing away from you, but at an angle. From this angle, a shot aimed at vital organs may miss the rib cage entirely. There’s also less tissue to pass through before penetrating vital organs.
Rifle hunters should use the chest area above the opposite front leg as the aiming point for a lung shot.
Bowhunters using cutting point broadheads for this type of shot are less likely to encounter heavy bone and increase their chances of hitting a vital organ.
Broadside Shots
Because of their mass, the preferred shot for larger game animals, such as elk and bear, is a broadside. It’s also the most effective shot on deer, antelope, and similar-sized game.
This is particularly true for bowhunters. Large animals have bigger stomachs and intestines, which may stop an arrow before it reaches vital organs in a quartering-away shot.
Quartering-Toward Shots
The quartering-toward shot is when your target is facing toward you, but at an angle. A deer or other game quartering toward you presents a clear shot to the vital organs. A rifle shot can be taken at this angle if the gun is already trained on the animal.
Rifle hunters should use the chest area above the near front leg as the aiming point for a lung shot.
Bowhunters should avoid this shot because the vital areas are protected by bone. Also, an arrow should not be fired at an animal that is looking at you.
Rear-End Shots
Not recommended—rarely results in a clean kill.
Ruins a lot of meat and can rupture stomach and intestines.
Very narrow target area. |
