[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1279485, member: 2736"] The one thing I don't get, is where the name "Texas Heart Shot" come from. I am from Texas, and I don't know anyone that uses that Point of aim to make a shot given any other choice. It is devastating to the animal but a very poor choice in shot placement for a hunter. On some non game animals it could be used for management if you don't intend to harvest the meat. Everyone has a choice, and if this was the only chance of harvesting a true trophy I would probably take the shot. I have passed up many shots in the past that would be marginal for no other reason except for the possibility of massive meat damage. I don't consider this type of shot un ethical because of its ability to dispatch the game fast, I just prefer not to use it unless I have to. (Rarely do you "have" to make any shot). Everyone has there preferred shot, so this is just another choice for the hunter to make In my opinion. It does require pin point accuracy in my opinion to prevent meat spoilage. So with that in mind most decide not to use it after the few times they try it. No criticism intended, Just glad you got your animal. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
