[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 1518203, member: 105102"] The only reason I didn't attach it, was I didn't want to derail your thread......I had already deleted it, so I tried to recreate it on my phone, I hope it comes through. The black dot is close to what I consider the "autonomic plexus region"....maybe a touch forward/up. My finger kept getting drawn towards the junction of all the arteries at the lungs/heart....:rolleyes:....Your description of it sounds about right. Like you said good diagrams are hard to find, and they're all a little different. In my experience, An animal shot here, will have a hole through the "shoulder" when it is removed from the carcass, but not necessarily through the scapula. I have been trying to teach my kids to pull a bullet into this region, but it's hard to pick a point to aim at......seems like there is always a nice tuft of hair on the leg crease to aim at, and I'd rather they focus on hitting a spot.....it'll come with time and experience for them.
