[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5715589, member: 17"] Depends on the weapon I'm using and if I [B]need[/B] to drop a deer on the spot. The high-shoulder shot can be extremely effective with high velocity bullets, but not so much with low velocity rounds. With a modern centerfire rifle firing rounds near 3,000 fps, [I]and the need to drop a deer in its tracks[/I], I'll take the high shoulder shot. If you hit fairly precisely, it works great. If you don't hit precisely, it can be disastrous. The vast majority of the time I go for the double lung hit right behind the front leg. The kill zone is much larger and extremely lethal. But if using a high-powered rifle, and it's critical the deer not run, then I'll take the high shoulder shot. [/QUOTE]
