[QUOTE="Ridgerunner665, post: 235840, member: 12660"] Because a high shoulder shot will bust the shoulders, break the spine, and put a deer down in its tracks. Many people do not realize that a deers spine is a few inches below the back line...the spine runs through the center of the neck, and is just a little above the shoulder joints. If you miss to the rear...its still a lung shot. If you miss to the front...its still a spine shot. If you miss high...not good, nothing there but elongated vertebrae. If you miss low...you will still likely immobilize the deer. [/QUOTE]
