Heart or lung shot
For those of you who have hunted with a Bow for many years and have taken many Deer,which do you most often aim for,the heart or the lungs? My first Deer was a heart shot and he did not go far,should I continue to aim there or is the lung a better choice?

ive always felt the lungs give you more lee way on your shot seeing as the are much bigger than the heart. again as podunk said its all about what you feel confident with and if you dont take the first lung shot you get then that heart shot might never show up or vice versa. it all really depends on the situation. great topic

I always aim for the heart but not necessarily cause Im trying to hit it, I aim there cause I find deer often drop down at the sound of the shot , if they do, I still hit the lungs (which I prefer) if not, I still get the heart and lower lungs.
