Default RE: Double lung shot

stickerpt,

I thought I had hit a small deer above the heart and below the lungs without having a fatal shot. But looking at the deer anatomy pictures on line I wonder, there doesn't seem to be any way when shooting from the ground.

I was shooting Bear razorheads and got a pass through about 4 inches above the bottom of the deer - well front of center. I was only about 15 yards away but my nock had slipped.

People have five lobes to their two lungs. Is hitting two lobes in one lung a worse hit than hitting one lobe in each of two lungs? Maybe there is more to this than just hitting both lungs?
