[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1518613, member: 33159"] Ckgworks, Your shot placement is perfect. The true high shoulder shot is higher than your mark on the diagram. It’s actually hitting the scapula which drives it into the spine, and this, in turn, severed the spinal cord and is “lights out” on the animal. It’s exactly as Nathan Foster describes on his site. I’m in the medical field, so I pay attention to anatomy. The shot placement on your diagram gives one the most room for error and the highest probability of destroying the CNS. I was originally taught to shoot just behind the elbow joint and hit the heart and rear lungs. Worked fine for the short distance shots in the cedar swamps of Michigan, but I never liked it when the deer still were able to run and I had to track them.
