[QUOTE="Akbushape, post: 286149, member: 14672"] Thing is phorwath, aiming 10" behind the shoulder leaves no margin of error. If you hit even a couple of inches farther back you're looking at a gut shot. For the average marksman that is a poor aiming point. Miscalucating wind drift on a 200 yd shot can move your POI 5 or 6 inches. Thats risky business. You have gotten away with it so far and may continue to do so for some time, but eventually the law of average will catch up with you. In the field I prefer the "center of the pie plate" approach rather than the center of the marble. I too have seen big bears drop in their tracks with a heart/lung shot, but that is the exception rather than the rule. [/QUOTE]
