Default RE: Shot placement for dropping deer in thier tracks

ORIGINAL: 1865

I started shooting this shot about 7 years ago. In that time I've taken 10-12 deer with it and have not had one of them take a single step. They go right down and never even seem to know what hits them.
1865, my son loves that shot, too. I hit this year's buck there and dropped him instantly, but it was actually a bad shot because I was aiming about four inches lower.

If you have hit that many deer you are apparently a good shot, like my son. But you hardly have any room for error if you hit high. I am trying to train my son to aim lower to give him error room, even though the deer might travel 50 yards or so.

I actually go right in between you and cloudwalker.

BTW nice pictures, guys. Useful.
