Double Lunger!

I never really thought about that...I only killed one deer so far because last season was my first year hunting and i nailed her right in the heart and she only made it maybe 30 yards and dropped but i think ill try lungs from now on.

Lungs, definitely.

The deer I've shot in the heart only have run like a raped ape. Lung hit deer will usually go down well inside 100yds.

i aim about two inches above the 'elbow' on the deer, unless the deer is nervous, then you need to take into account the deer 'jumping the string'. I had this happen twice to me last year, both times on does. I had one doe come in after settling her down over an hour with some bleats, put my twenty yard pin on her belly, and let it go...hit her through both lungs, mid chest. Missed the other doe when I didn't compensate for the string jump. I prefer to aim for the lungs, but I won't turn a heart shot down. they go just about as far either way.

I'd go for the lungs but if some reason i am off target, i hope i at least hit the heart.

Well stated BigBulls and medically accurate. It is always enjoyable to read a message that is backed scientifically and quite precisely, I might add.

My aiming point is a heart shot. This makes me concentrate and wait for a clear shot.
