Default RE: bullet placement

A shot through the lungs will kill any animal faster than any other shot. As the lungs bleed out the blood pressure drops and the animals brain tells the heart to beat faster to accomodate for the loss of pressure. As the pressure keeps dropping the heart keeps beating faster and faster and more blood leaves the animal. Part of the lungs are located behind the front shoulder, but not that much. I aim just behind the crease in the shoulder. You get the lungs and / or heart and get far better penetration than through the shoulder.
