#4
(for this shot
placement, bird must be standing or
walking straight away from you not in full
strut) There is about a 22" line you can
shoot for it starts for the base of his head
down to where his tail feather starts. This
is a good shot to take at a bird because
you have the biggest target to shoot at.
You have a better chance to get your
arrow into his chest cavity. Anywhere in
that line is the end all shot.

Side Note: After you have
made your shot on your
bird sometimes its ok to go
sprinting out of your blind to
get your bird just depends on
where you hit him at. If you
made a shot that broke his
legs I would typically run after
that bird and grab him before
he gets too far away because
they can still move pretty good
when they are wounded. If you
get a complete pass threw on
your bird and he slowly walks
away it’s probably best to sit
out and let that bird expire.
There are some cases you can
blood trail a bird, but if you
wound a bird and knowing
you put a good shot on him
back out and let the bird do
his thing.
