[QUOTE="soundwaves, post: 1279459, member: 15819"] hmmm. you could have woonded the animal from any sort a angle. l have shot animals that have 3 legs..!! the bullet lands low on a perfect side shot and hits the leg and the animal lives 3 legged. l normaly wait for a good shooting position. the first time l tried this Texas heart shot was yesterday and the result was dead before it hit the ground. but at 320 meters the 7mm rem mag has more than anough energy to go straight throuh one end and out the other on deer sized game. but bad for the meet l guess. if you think of it you have more of a chance of woonding an animal from a side shot than the Texas heart shot as is you miss the vital area you will hit the stomac or back legs ? shots are taken when you feel that you are gonna defenatly gona conect. if l m seconding that l might conect or not l never pull the trigger. l only shoot when l get that feeling that lm gona hit what lm aiming at. but offcourse things can go wrong.! but my shot was angled up so l didnt aim for its back side but just infront of the balls because l could see under the animals belly. and it exited out from the top of the neck breaking spine aswell as going through stomac, liver, lungs. not that l will wait for a good Texas heart shot position after this but l just found it intresting that the shot is deadly as long as your rifle has the power to pull it off clean [/QUOTE]
