I don't know if any of you think as I do, but when shooting a deer (or any other big game animal) I like to alway's shoot for the lungs rather than the heart. Shooting at the lungs give's me a bigger target, than trying to shoot at the heart. I will alway's take a lung shot rather than the heart shot. Just because there isless of a chance of shooting the Shoulder with a lung shot.

When I was 16, I tried the perfect heart shot and when I released the arrow, the buck happened to take a step forward and I got him square in the shoulder blade. The Buck (which was a really nice 10 pointer) fell over right in his tracks, then got back up and ran off never to be seen again that year. The next year I saw the same buck and he seemed to be pretty healthy, other than a slight limp and a scar. I just wanted to get everybody's opionion on this. After that experience, I have not tried to take another heart shot. What is everybody's opionion??
