loon:
I don't get what you mean by the front leg crease or line... ah, the front leg of the deer? but how does that help with shooting over the deer?

I guess for gap shooting you have to get good at estimating distances

Chief RID:
We should all be really good at estimating what our hunting distances are no matter what kind of shooter you are. How else would you know the animal is in your predetermined hunting range? If you know that your point of aim is the same throughout your prescribed hunting distance then you are golden. Very effective. It makes this much easier if your equipment is set up for the flattest part of the trajectory of you arrow is at your hunting distance. Watch some of Jimmy B's Youtube stuff and it will open a whole new world of accuracy. Or at least you will have something fun to watch and make you think at the same time. Simple stuff that he presents very well.

bradsmith2010:
if your hunting shots are less than 20 yards there is not alot of estimating to do,, or even 15,,,

I read that article about Hill in a recent bow mag.  Even if I was younger I dont think I could pull an 80# bow relentlessly and do it for most of the day.  :P
