[QUOTE="BoomFlop, post: 1650526, member: 55851"] When shooting at an animal (let us use broadside as a standard for this discussion), are you a behind the shoulder (lungs), behind shoulder (heart), high shoulder (shoulder/spine) or a base of neck shooter? I am a die hard bow hunter with well into double digit book whitetails and at 38 years old, I cannot get out of the “behind shoulder (lung) shot even with a gun. So my deer (although I don’t shoot many with a rifle) all tend to run 20-125 yards. I tend to shoot Interlock/CoreLok style bullets and probably need to do something else or try like hell to move my aim point. Don’t get me wrong, it works as I’m shooting them at bow range most of the time, but with a rifle I’d prefer to have them drop. Where do you aim and what bullet do you use? Feel free to list multiples if your aim point and bullet differs by cartridge, animal or distance. Thanks, Steve [/QUOTE]
