[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1765602, member: 30902"] Done right you're punching a hole through the spine. It's a risky shot in that if you're a little high sometimes you'll knock them down but they can then recover and run off before you get there if the spine is not hit. Where on the animal? Just below the highest point on the top curve of the shoulder bade. [IMG]https://www.africahunting.com/hunting/bowhunting-vitals/elk-vitals-bowhunting.jpg[/IMG] The down side is a lot of high quality meat gets wasted. Honestly the much higher percentage shot is just above the elbow. Blow out the heart and/or one or both lungs with a good bullet and they won't go far and there's very little wasted meat. [/QUOTE]
