If I had to actually engauge a "bad guy", I wouldn't stop shooting until he was on the ground. Not to sound like excessive force, but hesitation can get you killed.

Simularly to hesitating when shooting a charging wild hog...is one shot enough...two, three? Often times it's up to the shooter and/or the situation. It's very difficult to make a "standard" answer for a given situation.

Training will help, but even so, there's nothing like being there, having to make the decisions, shooting, getting shot at, etc., etc.

Good hunting, Bowhunter57
