[QUOTE="carl1775, post: 1441710, member: 105682"] Aim small, miss small, but it really depends on how the game is presenting itself. Rule of thumb, I always aim for the heart. Visualize the heart, take it out and the game is dead. This can happen from any angle of the shot. Quartering away, through the heart into the off shoulder. Quartering toward, through the fore shoulder and then the heart. Facing you, through the breast plate and into the heart. Broadside, heart shot, directly into the upper most crease of the armpit (that's how I can best explain it to younger, or new hunters). I never shoot for the neck, unless it's to finish a kill. And always pass on the Texas heart shot, no offense meant to my Southern brethren. [/QUOTE]
