Default RE: Where do I shoot the thing?

A shot that close to your tree is a very tough one and offers nearly zero chance of getting both lungs from that angle. I understand it's not always possible, but try to let them get 15 or so yards out and offer you a better shot at both lungs.


One was 5 yards from the base of my tree and the other was about ten. both were quartered away. Is it possible to get a double lung at these close distances or should you go for a heart. That is where my confusion is. Where do you shoot it from the tree stand. I try to guestimate at the angle that will take it through the heart but I fear I'm only getting one lung.
