[quote=@Balance] *Aims accurately for the base of its neck and then lets go; the bow deforms badly mid-shot and the arrow flies wide, but the wooden shaft strikes a branch and the arrow is deflected, hitting the deer in the side* [/quote] Bret: *Takes aim with my bow and shoots it in the chest as soon as it's head starts to pop up in alarm and pain, my arrow sliding cleanly between its ribcage to hit its heart before the spooked and heavily injured animal attempts to flee, leaving a blood trail to follow as it's life drains away onto the ground.*
