12 yards, 12 feet elevated, 45 degrees quartering away.  |

I like that slight quartering away shot.  I'd probably aim just a little farther back, behind the lowest arrow, perhaps almost to the edge of the tape. Reason, I want to stay out of the leg and shoulder bones on the far side. Not only do I look at avoiding those bones, I also look behind the deer and if possible, try to avoid shooting into a tree or roots on the passthru.  |

This is where nc's experience really shows. Here's what that group looks like with the deer square to the camera.  And here's the exit when I push an arrow through:  |

and it's quite possible a broadhead would stop at the same position as that arrow. I haven't had that happen with a carbon arrow yet but it would be interesting to see the result. I know the result with aluminum arrows well.  |

That looks like a good quartering shot to me. That single "leg" warps the perspective a little vs. a real deer, but it certainly looks far enough back for a quartering shot to get both lungs. One inch down would be more to my liking.
That's about as much of an angle as I'd like to shoot.
