Preferred Shot Placement

I usually hit around C8 or C9, usually hit diaphragm and rake both lungs.

I prefer a quarter away, aim at D9 and the arrow will be stopped by shoulder on opposite side and the deer never goes more than 25 yards.

B6 or C6. Bang-flops every time. Every time. Zero exceptions so far.

I always aimed for E7/E8 area and only ever had one long-ish trailing job; 80-odd yards after a double-lung hit from a 12-gauge slug at 25 yards.
I read an article by John Barsness, which may have been called, "Where to Hit Big Game."
He advised that a hit 2/3 up the shoulder, versus the usual lower-one-third of the body, tended to produce super-fast, DRT kills.

I've used this shot on deer with results as-advertised. Deer dropped literally in their tracks; no short run, nothing.
Mind you, I've only shot a half-dozen deer this way, and none were beyond 50 yards. Cartridges were the .30-30, the .280 Remington, and the .257 Roberts.

One above A and one to the right of 1. Use a 22mag and one of those things they call "Q-beams". Tends to be a popular aiming point around my area, especially since the price of beef and chicken has gone through the roof.

agreed, should drop like potatoes with that shot right on the shoulder.

E7 Took longer to add this to post than pulling the trigger
