i asked the same question a while back waterfx, i was thinking the same way. I have rocket hammerheads that open a 2 inch cutting diameter and i was thinking that no way could i not hit some vital if i shot for the neck. i never tried but i know that i will not try. shoot for the lungs and they will die most of the time. yes it might mean a long track but that is bow hunting. if you don't like that, then stick with the guns.
