One of the keys to success in hunting is placing an accurate shot - whether you hunt with a bow or a firearm, this sentiment rings true. So what is important when setting up your perfect shot, and perhaps more importantly, which shots should you let slip by? Though the window for placing your shot of a lifetime may be only seconds, it’s important to exercise good judgement and aim to place your shot as effectively as possible.

Either of these gives you a clean shot at the vital organs allowing you to dispatch the animal quickly and ethically.
