Timberjack ! absolutely you can get both lung's and the heart with one shot ,If you aim at the V above the front elbow behind the shoulder you'll take out both lung's and heart. We took a bull moose this way last fall during archery season and took out both lung's and the heart. It can be done if your right on target.
I'm not sure if it's possible from a treestand,we took the moose at ground level and 5yrds away.

I disagree! The heart is between the shoulders and the lungs are behind the shoulders.

Bowfanatic ! you can disagree if you like ,but I know for a fact on a moose it can be done and I have 4 other's in our group that would agree. Just maybe a deer might be a little different but I don't believe that it can be that much different.

I'm not saying anyone's wrong but I know in big game animals in Africa the vitals are located further back.

Sorry Nubo! I'm not familiar with the anatomy of a moose. Some day I hope to be real familiar! Some day soon!

I have one treestand out of maybe 20 that is less then 25 ft off of the ground. I could possibly get a DL but it would be the very top of the near lung and the bottom of the far lung.
You see........I personally do not go over 20 ft because I will not risk a single lunger.

But unlike you, I will not call you a slob because you do things a little diff. than me. Even though I think those heights are a little risky

But I will ask this question. Whats better?

A double lung with a mechanical...or.a single lung with a fixed head?...........

At 20 yards i nail the heart, since I have moved my stands higher i have yet to miss the heart at 20 yards. Past 20 I will go for the DL, because the angel is not as steep.
