What is the most effective shot angle for bowhunters to ensure a quick, humane kill?

  1. Head-on

  2. Broadside

  3. Rear-end

  4. Skyline

The correct answer is: Broadside

Bowhunters should aim for a broadside shot angle to ensure a quick, humane kill. This is because a broadside shot presents the largest target area, allowing for a higher chance of hitting vital organs such as the heart and lungs, leading to a faster and more ethical kill. Other shot angles like head-on, rear-end, or skyline may result in non-lethal hits or lead to prolonged suffering for the animal.
