I guess it's one thing to seemingly promote an ass shot, another if it happens beyond your control. My dad has killed a couple of deer when his arrow hit a deer in the hip and I killed one doe. Were they on purpose? Heck no. His were back when the bows were much slower where one went to take off running on the shot and another I recall him saying was broadside and by the time the arrow had gotten there the deer had spun and did a 180. Both of which were under 25 yard shots, luckily both hit arteries and were dead deer. Mine was a big doe that I shot at a little over 15 yards. She was quartering away and I was aiming for opposite shoulder. The buck that was chasing her was young and just as I was releasing he made another lunge at her. She died relatively quickly and ended up at the bottom of a big ravine, what a chore that day was. Neither one of us would ever promote taking a shot at the hip of a deer or to just get an arrow into one. We practice as much as possible to avoid errant shots but we all know they happen. To basically state that was the shot to take I don't agree with.
