Where do u shoot?
Where do u shoot your deer broadside at 20yds?

RE: Where do u shoot?
Well i have a older bow so at around 20 yards i shoot about 2 inches above where im suppose to and around 5 inches behind the shoulder

RE: Where do u shoot?
I'm trying to understand the question.....You mean.where do we aim? Right behind the shoulder, about 1/2 way up on the chest.

RE: Where do u shoot?
well if on ground, halfway up right behind the should if im in treestand i aim for the lower third of the deers body, if you have a slower bow i would aim about 4-6 inches behind shoulder to avoid hitting the shoulder blade

RE: Where do u shoot?
well most of the time i will just aim right at the back end of the shoulder, that way if i happen to not hit where im aimming i still have some to the left and a lot to the right. or the other way around depends on the deer.

Right in the boiler room-lungs and heart area. That's right behind the shoulder about half way up approximately. Study the anatomy of a deer if you aren't sure where it is.

I aim a few inches back of the shoulder. And in the middle of his body. So if i miss back I will hit liver. Low and I'll get heart. High and I get spine. Just with a bow try not tohit the shoulder. Sometimes you don't get a lot of penetration to kill it.

I am guessing you are a younger hunter. Good questionto ask before you get in the woods. If I were you I would go to the recovery forum at the top of the page. There is an anotomy chart there to look at. Print it off so you have it. I will be honest I put a poor shot on a doe and I took a look at it just for a little reminder. Keep asking questions bud it is a good way to learn. Good luck

Just what the rest here are saying. Like Cougars09 stated, your height in relationship to the deer will alter where you aim. Your goal should be to try and get a double-lung shot if possible. When up high in a tree, your angles are such that your arrow will exit the other side of the deer much lower than the entry point so keep that in mind. Good luck!
