I have taken two doeswith neck shots. Both of them were looking up at me in my treestand and i would aim center of the neck about back hight. Both arrows hit windpipe and the furthest ran only 20 yds.

"A neck shot makes them harder to find?" Most of the rifle shot does and a lot of the bucks I've killed were neck shot. Between probably thirty or fourty, they traveled a total of ZERO yards after the shot. I shoot them right behind the ears where the neck meets the head. As far as destroying meat, there is less meat there than just about any shot besides a head shot. A deer shot behind the shoulder or through one shoulder will inevitably have a large amount of blood-shot meat in one or both shoulders. The reason I don't head shoot them anymore is mostly cosmetic. A 130 grain bullet striking a skull at 3,000 fps makes quite a mess.

My dad always shot for the neck.. They don't run... I have used both the shot on the neckand twice have put one behind the sholder.. I like the neck better..

Most of the people I know that shoot for the neck tend to shoot bolt action, smaller caliber rifles with less recoil. This is because the neck is a harder spot to hit than the vitals. But you will be a better shot with this setup than if you shoot something like a 7 Mag out of an auto.
