    shot placement by QDMA

    Most of us have discussed and researched this topic more than once. Every hunter has or will develop his or her own preference but this article and related video are probably one of the best we will see in terms of showing the exact heart, lung, and shoulder blade area. Great info for all hunters, regardless of experience level or weapon choice.

    Interesting timing on your posting! I watched this just last night, as I was thanking my lucky stars for recovering a buck a couple of days ago, on a bow shot I had thought was too far back. Good info.

        Great info. I sent it to other hunters on my place just for reassurance where the arrow needs to be placed. Thanks for posting.

            Funny, I watched the same video about a week or so ago. Amazing info. Need to get one of those targets.

              I disagree with the relative size of the heart in that cut away view. The top of the heart sits below the horizontal mid line.

              But I do agree straight up the leg at midline is an effective shot. But you won’t hit heart, maybe artery, but not the mass of the heart.

                  What if the deer is alert or nervous? Isn't there an argument to be made to aim towards the lower half in case it ducks?

                      I believe he mentioned the lower 1/3

                        There certainly is for bow hunters. Even the most relaxed deer seem to drop at least a little. I think most of us have had a clean miss when aiming at the center of the lungs. I enjoy those slo-mo videos that go back and show where the hunter aimed vs where the deer was by the time the arrow got there. It is even more of a factor for those of us that are lobbing heavy arrows at only 180fps

                          Exactly where I have been shooting them with my bow cor 35 years.

                            Telling people to shoot deer "behind the shoulder" has probably led to a lot of longer than necessary blood trails. Good advice in this video. I want a broadhead hole in that front quarter when I cut it off. Going through the muscle can sometimes lead to a poorer blood trail but it does not matter because you will watch them fall. It is all about severing large vessels, rapidly dropping blood pressure, and stopping adequate blood supply to the brain. They pass out in seconds just like if you squeeze the sides of someone neck. And then they are dead.
