If you could only have one

If you could only have one .great shot placement or high kenitic energy and why?for example I'd take shot placement as even with all that energy if the shot is poor it probably won't kill.remember only one please! Yes I know they go hand and hand in hunting but let's see

placement - speaks for itself

Shoot um in the face.

As energy decreases shot placement becomes more critical. As energy increases you gain leeway in shot placement. But first and foremost you still achieve proper shot placement first.

Without shot placement energy means nothing.

It really doesn’t matter how much energy you have if you shoot an animal in the butt or above the vitals. There really isn’t any reason to choose KE over shot placement. This should be a short thread.

I prefer a center shoulder shot with a 300gn arrow and an expandable broadhead.

Lost a deer in 12a with a expandable 18 yard shot .figure it didn't open and pin holes the deer .felt like shoot for not killing it clean and went to cut on contact after that
