RE: Do you think there is degrees in the effectiveness of a double lung?
 

I am a firm believer in shooting right above the heart at 2 o'clockon a deer. You not only get both lungs you get to main arties coming into/out the heart.

lower lung......

RE: Do you think there is degrees in the effectiveness of a double lung?
 

Personally I like the lung hit to take place when the animal is breathing in. That way.. the lung is at it largest.. thus making it a even bigger target to aim at.



























Of course.. I am completely screwing around with this one and all of you.. because.. quite frankly... I'm bored.[8D]

If quartering away are you aiming for that spot on entrance or exit?

RE: Do you think there is degrees in the effectiveness of a double lung?
 

Exit, I try to get as close as I can. Qrty away more than a little it's a tough spot to hit. I just try to get asclose to the heart as I can.

When Qrt away I want the arrow to come out the arm pit of the deer. Depanding on the angle maybe a bit forwardor back.

I agree Germ. I could see some rookie reading what you said and aiming for that spot for an entrance on a quartering away shot. Thats why I said what I did being you would explain yourself. Thanks man!!:D

I agree 100%. The best blood trails and shortest recoveries I've had have been when I hit them in this spot (green circle). You get both lungs and sever major arteries at the top of the heart. If I hit them in a little higher and further back (yellow circle) they still die but they go a bit longer.

Thx for keeping me in line, as an added bonus with this shot it yu miss lowthere is a good chance you hit the heart;)

RE: Do you think there is degrees in the effectiveness of a double lung?
 

Exactly right, look at the anatomy pics of a deer's vascular system, The closer to the heart the more arteries and veins you will cut causing more bleeding and better blood trails, and this means a low hit into the boiler room. A high hit in the lungs will give you a delayed blood trail since the lungs need to fill up first, you may actually get a sneeze or cough blood before the blood comes out of the wound.

Oh Right, LIke I'm gonna believe you're gonna wait for him to inhale!
