C.I aim for the shoulders

I learned a long time ago i have a tendency to pull to the right slightly so i aim at the shoulders.

Depending on distance and size I prefer the neck. They drop where they're shot.

Where do you aim if the deer is facing to theright?

Both the lungs and heart are behind the shoulder.

Broadside, I aim right behind the shoulder 1/3 to 1/2 up the body.

Quartering to, I aim on the point of the shoulder or crease of the neck.

Quartering away, I aim closer to the last rib.

Basically I want my bullet or arrowto go through both lungs. I don't care if I take out the heart or not.

Depends on the angle but I generally aim for the upper inside part of the shoulder

Myself I don't shoot for the head, It's either a heart or high shoulder shot.

I generally like a nice double lung shot.
