[QUOTE="megalomaniac, post: 4976910, member: 2805"] Jeez, I can't belive this thread has gone on for 3 pages.... Everyone should shoot high shoulder, not simply because it instantly dispatches the animal if hit, but mostly because it provides the largest room for error without wounding an animal. Aim high shoulder and miss 6 in low... heart shot, dead animal. Miss 6in forward, hit neck, dead animal. Miss 6in back, hit top of lungs, dead animal. Miss 6in high, clean miss, no suffering or wounded animal. No other shot provides such a large room for error which provides a kill shot, yet doesn't cripple an animal with a less than perfect shot. I used to aim heart back in the day. Missed a deer a few inches low and blew off the front leg. Luckily she gave me a follow up shot and I dispatched her. No more heart shots for me... too little room for error if just a few inches low or forward. [/QUOTE]
