All depends on where you are and the deer is. Aim for the exit hole, not the enterance.

From the bottom of the deer where the leg meets the body; two-inches up, two-inches back.

Pretty much the same for anything else.

yessir!

IK would take a double lung over a heart shot ANY day ..... then drop quicker IME

[Schultzy]

Lung's all the way! The lung's are by far the biggest of the vital's to be aiming for. There's to much room for error by just aiming for the heart alone.

[GMMAT]

What I learned this season is......where you aim on the deer's body.....and where the spot is when the arrow gets there......is sometimes two different places.

I made mistakes early on aiming too high. Nothing wrong with aiming for lung. Nothing at all. But....I had a couple duck on relatively close shots.....and the results were high hits.....long tracks......and worse. I have an unknown out there.

What I learned this year is......my effective range is shorter than I once thought. It's also (in my opinion) better to aim a little lower on the deer. Miss low??? Big deal. Clean miss. Deer ducks? DL......and again...no big deal.

Just what I had to learn the hard way.

Jeff, I used to feel the way you do now, but then I learned a lesson the hard way. That thinking is great if you know the exact distance. If you estimate a little short you end up with a brisket shot.[:@] Now, I aim for those lungs.
