Diagrams? I'm about to be on the bowhunt of a lifetime and I've been wondering about the upper limit (towards the spine) of lung shots... Last year my buddy shot a spike and double lunged him however it looked to me that the entry and exit woulds were only about 10" below the spine... seemed high to me but the thing dropped like a rock!!

  with the bow it is better to go for a lung or heart shot ...and their is a spot between the top of the lungs and the spinal area that is hollow .. so if your shooting behind the shoulders you can get to high and hit that spot. but with a rifle in the shoulder you can hit at the heart area and go all the way to his spine and you will drop him ... It is crazy how this has been going on for days ..but I would not stress the facts if it did not work ...every bear I have shot in the shoulder pretty much layed where I hit him  :dunno:  AND I AM TALKING BEARS HERE...THATS THE ONLY ANIMAL I intensionally shoot in the shoulders !! ( WITH A RIFLE)

Can  you see where this one got hit at?

Never have any deer, elk, bear walk another step.   Head, shoulder, heart, lungs...

The RUM Asprin makes them go to sleep right now.. :chuckle: :chuckle:


By the way, neck shot at about 15 yds...

I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...
