[QUOTE="6xshooter, post: 2950928, member: 126566"] I never shoot through the point of the shoulder. Oh I know I will hear how that’s the best place. It will break them down and all that but I’ve seen many shots gone wrong doing this. Have seen bullets deflect and miss vitals and bullets deform so badly that they don’t penetrate deep enough. I aim just behind front leg. This will, dare I say , kill every time. You punch the lungs or take out the heart or both it will die. Oh been times an animal may go a few yards until it runs out of air, but it will die. Bad bullet placement is why you are tracking a wounded animal. [/QUOTE]
