Justin said the neck shots were all effective, game recovered. All these others that said they missed aiming at the lungs ( and that,s a huge miss ) and hit the neck said the deer fell right there or didn,t go far at all. So is the neck shot effective? If I get a once in a life time shot at a monster and all that is exposed is his fat neck, he,s going to get a Beman ICS 400 thru it. You guys all no how hard it is to get a trophy buck. Is it the best shot? NO. But it sure sounds like it is effective.
