Default RE: Chest shot?

The only big game animal I shot so far is a bear , As it gave me a broadside shot with the front leg out of the way and every thing I drew my bow, He caught my movement and basically "L'd" with his rump still heading for the bait pile but his chest was aimed directly at me as was his eye's, I put my pin directly in front of his leg bone and shoulder with out even thinking and let my fingers loose. I hit him square where I aimed, then with out thinking or hardly watching the bear once he left my periferal vision I sat back down to gather my thoughts and collect another arrow from my quiver. The bear had not gone 20 yard from where I had shot him, and maybe 20 from my stand, and dropped and started to death moan which most bears do. He expired in about 10second 20 at the most I would say. When I gutted him, I found the 15" or so of the front of my arrow with thunderhead, pinning the heart lungs and liver together, the shot was directly through ribs and almost through the brisket area. I would say that kind of a shot is pretty lethal, but I don't have that much experience to tell you from multiple shots.
Good shooting.
