I usually just try and get lined up on the chest. When im shooting offhand and i dont have a whole lot of time to think, i honestly just got autopilot and its like something just takes over and aims. as long as its in the boiler room im happy. basically anywhere in the front half of a deer will kill it with a high powered rifle. dropping them in their tracks is nice, but i dont care if they run a little ways as long as they're dead on their feet. for example, i shot a doe tight behind the shoulder this year at about 35 yards. perfect broadside shot and i had the rail on the stand to rest on. about coulda done it with my eyes closed. I really thought i missed her when she didn't drop on the spot. ray charles coulda followed the blood trail that went about 40 yards. sure, nice when they drop right there, but if they are dead on their feet, ill take that too
