The heart is completely protected by the sternum and ribs. The lungs are a target, but your window is actually pretty small. If the deer turns just a bit when you release (a very high probability since it will be looking in your direction), your small window gets smaller. If it puts its head down, then your window is gone.
For a gun, it's not a bad shot. For a bow, I wouldn't take it, not even with a bone-splitting single-bevel broadhead.
