[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 565134, member: 30902"] I pretty much am in agreement with your dad for the following reasons. Look at the X high on his shoulder. If you hit that spot he's going down even if your bullet only makes it partially through is body. At most he'll run a few hundred yards before he gives out. If you get a complete pass through, even if you miss the spine, he's down unable to use either front quarter. If you are a little high. It's stright into the spine. A little left, and it's through the spine in his neck. A little right, you have both lungs taken out. A little low and you have both lungs or the heart. Aiming at that point gives you the highest degree of possible a fatal impacts even if you are off a bit. You can be as much as a foot high/low or two feet left right and still drop him dead with one shot. That's pretty much my desired point of impact on anything except the largest boars and varmints. On the really big boars Just low and behind the ear is my preferred spot. On varmints I don't care as long as they die. [/QUOTE]
