Assuming you mean a double lung hit, I couldn't agree with you more!
However, as we all know sometimes sh** just happens. There are a 1000 scenerios where something can go wrong with where the bullet strikes. I personally plan with that in mind. After all, if you get close enough, a 22 will do the job.
