OK so you're telling me that in situation 5 (8yds away, 20ft up, quartering away at a 45 degree angle) that you will get both lungs and the heart just merely by aiming for the opposite knuckle?I've only killed 3bucks withmybow so my experience is very limited (hence the post) but I don't think that's possible, though I may be wrong. How do you get lungs and heart on a steep and angled deer?

The reason why I'm asking is because I want to know from you more experienced guys which vitals I should be going for in which situations. And in some situations like severely quartering away,the kill zone for the heart is bigger than the kill zone for a double lung.

I think a huge part of the reason why there are so many deer lost to the hands of inexperienced bowhunters is because they are not taught correctly where to put the arrow in different situations. Telling them "oh just put it through the heart and lungs" don't tell them nothing because they don't know where the vitals are once the animal is turned or what have you.
