Bow hunters should avoid which type of shots, as the vital areas are protected by bone from this angle?

Quartering toward
Quartering away
Straight-on
From behind

The correct answer is: Quartering toward

Quartering toward shots should be avoided by bow hunters because, although the animal may appear to offer a clear shot, it is often a risky shot. This is because the vital areas, such as the heart and lungs, are protected by bone from this angle. As a result, the arrow may not hit these vital organs, potentially causing the animal to suffer and be unretrievable. The other options, quartering away, straight-on, and from behind, may offer a better chance of hitting these vital areas and taking down the animal humanely. Therefore, they should be chosen over a quartering toward shot.
