A frontal shot is risked if the deer should happen to stopand look back offering a broadside shot. Care must be taken tomake not the slightest sound as you prepare to shoot. I have
lost two perfect chances because the arrow sliding on the bowwas heard by the standing deer which jumped before I couldrelease, or even finish the draw. I now use a well lubricatedleather arrow rest and arrow plate.
A large group is difficult to manage in a drive even if theshooting positions and the lay of the land are pretty wellknown to most of the hunters. The job of placing the shooterstakes a diplomat or a thick skinned individual. The fellowthat does not see deer come his way feels put upon, and willlikely crab about it.
