Default shot placement

Whn I rifle hunt I mainly neck shoot deer but I bow hunt a lot too. When you all talk about behind the shoulder where do you mean. I lost 2 deer this past week with behind the shoulder shots with my bow. I was studying deer anatomy and it looks like most the lung heart and arteries are directly under the shoulder. Like maybe just above the arm pit if that leg is forward, or rith smack in the shoulder, not the shoulder bone but the shoulder. It seems I may be shooting farther back than I should.
