- Your Honest Effective Range Setting a self-honest maximum yardage based on your proven accuracy under hunting conditions, and why archery range is far shorter than rifle range.
- Reading Shot Angles Leads with the correct model: broadside and quartering-away are the high-percentage angles; quartering-to and head-on are passes. How body angle changes the arrow's path to the vitals.
- Arrow Placement & Deer Anatomy Leads with the correct shot-placement model, no guess-then-reveal: the double-lung/heart aim point behind the shoulder, where the vitals actually sit, and the shoulder and gut zones an arrow must avoid.
- Shooting from Elevation Leads with the correct model: how a steep treestand angle moves the exit wound, why you aim slightly higher on the entry, and bending at the waist to keep form. Builds on primer: tree-stand-safety-fall-arrest.
