Not always the best choice but something to think about.
Different perspective I guess. There is an artery in the ass that will kill them quickly as well but call me boring I like to take shots that will serve me best over a 40 year hunting career and to me that is a simple fixed broad head through the lungs. Anything else seems like reinventing the wheel to me.
