head on angles/shoulder shots?

[kt]

another thing the past few outing have made me wonder about, how reliable is a good fix blade head on something like a head on shot. just curious because last few days out i have had does come right at me or really quartering toward me around 15 yrds. this is or isnt do-able? you folks have confidence in making a recovery? not the best kill zone angle but do you guys get decent penetration on past shots of this sort. i wait for better opps but they just aren't coming!
