[QUOTE="LB, post: 74841, member: 2721"] As far as I am concerned, shooting for a shoulder is a big mistake, unless we are talking about dangerous game with very heavy constructed bullets. A well placed shot through the heart/lungs is by far the most dependable. Forget about the tracking for a moment. Ponder just how much an animal can move while the bullet is in flight. I do not understand the shoulder shot, for the life of me. Too many things can go wrong, especially with a spitzer bullet, rather than a solid. On the other hand. Hit in the boiler room, you stand a better chance of a accurate hit because of the size of the target area. And, it is a lethal placement, 100%. Can't say that about a shoulder, can we? Punch his ticket through the lungs. (with a moderate exit) That's (by far) the best percentage shot. I'm very surprised to read such varied and incorrect opinions.
