Broadside : I used to shoot only heart/lung shots/; I went to shoulder shots that angled through the vitals; I tried lower neck shots; they all worked fine, with no misplaced shots... since going to handgun rounds that will not expand : I am contemplating the heart lung shots that penetrate one of the shoulders as well.
Frontal : Direct frontal :: middle center going through the center of the chest cavity
quartering frontal : wherever the entry needs to be for passing about eight r ten inches in through the center of the chest.
I noticed that the shots that disrupted the shoulder either going in or coming out dropped them and they could not get up and died shortly.
A few heart shots dropped rite there but some ran up to fifity yards..
the shots that hit the spine either in the neck or upper shoulder or upper chest : dropped instantly.
what is your choice of shooting spots, and your experience with different shot placement..
also was there some amazing response to an otherwise good hit that you would like to share ?
I read where great chest shots run off all the time...for instance.
thanks.
I expect some surprises : that some folks shoot the neck, the head, the spine only for instant kills... that some always just shoot lungs
