[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1443105, member: 105926"] I suggest that beginning hunters aim for what I call the “pocket.” From a broad side shot it’s would be about a third of the way up from the bottom of the chest following the front leg. If you shoot forward you hit the shoulder, down the heart, high the spine or upper lungs, and back gives you a solid lung hit. I have never seen a deer travel more that 75 yards with this shot. The most important thing is placement and an adequate terminal bullet performance to do the job, if you have those then no deer will go far. [/QUOTE]
