RE: Where do you aim ??
All depends on where you are and the deer is. Aim for the exit hole, not the enterance.

RE: Where do you aim ??
From the bottom of the deer where the leg meets the body; two-inches up, two-inches back.
Pretty much the same for anything else. |

RE: Where do you aim ??
Lung's all the way! The lung's are by far the biggest of the vital's to be aiming for. There's to much room for error by just aiming for the heart alone.

RE: Where do you aim ??
What I learned this season is......where you aim on the deer's body.....and where the spot is when the arrow gets there......is sometimes two different places.
I made mistakes early on aiming too high. Nothing wrong with aiming for lung. Nothing at all. But....I had a couple duck on relatively close shots.....and the results were high hits.....long tracks......and worse. I have an unknown out there. What I learned this year is......my effective range is shorter than I once thought. It's also (in my opinion) better to aim a little lower on the deer. Miss low??? Big deal. Clean miss. Deer ducks? DL......and again...no big deal. Just what I had to learn the hard way. |

the spine the spine :D not to fast ill but more time out hunting

RE: Where do you aim ??
I aim where I need to, in order to get a path that puts my arrow thru the chest cavity, taking out both lungs. Or if angles and such dictate I will try to put the arrows path right over top of the heart.

RE: Where do you aim ??
Too many variables to say ... "Aim here". Example, on a very alert and spooked deer I have aimed at the belly line or lower. It takes a lot of nerve to aim off a deer at 15 yards, but I've done it and got a dead center impact. If the deer didn't move, I just miss. I'm expecting the deer to move. At longer ranges(30 Plus)they're not as apt to drop... they usually just turn their head to see what the noise was. As a rule I aim at the bottom one third of the deer... assuming it's not right under me. Aim for where you want the arrow to exit to cause the most damage to vitals. Broadside I snug it right up behind the leg/shoulder.

RE: Where do you aim ??
I'm a heart guy, years ago I'd go for the lungs but I learned my lessons. Deer duck no matter what just about every time, that's why I go for the heart shot.
       I know some don't like this one but I've shot bears,dear,antelope and elk with this one and none have went very far. "I'll get flack for this one thou"  |
RE: Where do you aim ??
Always aim for the exit hole no matter if you're on the ground, broadside, quartering... doesn't matter; double lung, but aim for the far side where you want the arrow to exit.

RE: Where do you aim ??
I aim for the lungs always without question.
