Default RE: Heart or lungs?


I look at it this way... Would you feel more confident shooting at a baseball (heart) or two footballs (lungs). A lung shot leaves more room for error than any other shot because they are the largest vital organs in a deer.


Quack Addict,
You have been very lucky, the next time you skin a deer notice how many places in the neck you could put a broadhead through and not hit anything vital.

You said if you hit low you hit the windpipe...if you just graze a deers windpipe he can go for miles with very little or no blood trail that would equal no recovery.

You said the juglar.... this vein is about the size of a ink pen. I dont know about you but thats too small of a target for me when there are two nice big lungs to shoot at...

Besides a lung shot messes up very little if any meat. Why would you want to mess up those nice neck roast.

Needless to say the neck is a poor choice
