I watched this video and the subsequent one too. He is NOT advocating a gut shot. What he is saying is to avoid the shoulder by aiming a bit farther back than what you have been taught years ago. Just a couple inches farther back. That way if you torque your bow or for some reason off a bit you will still hit left of your mark (on a left facing deer) you will still double lung it, if you hit right you will hit the liver. Both vital shots with the liver shot you will need more time for the animal to expire. With the same scenario if you aim tight behind the shoulder and hit left of your mark you could imbed your broadhead into the shouder without enough penetration to enter the vitals causing the animal undue suffering. That is all that he is saying. I would never intentionally aim to center of body but midway between center of body and leg crease.
