Ignore the great white hunter types Oldfeller a good chest shot is exactly what you are after, well according to most knowledgeable people. Leave the ear shots to others. 

Head shots have always been a contentious subject, I prefer to place the shot as instructed by dsc, If I cant get that safely, I walk away, there's always another day,, for myself and the quarry.

I'm not an advocate of long range shots at deer either, it's called "stalking" for a reason.

paper or hardox is another matter. nothing suffers if you miss, while dialing in.

Shouldn't be shooting, full F stop!

It's a heart shot not chest shot!

2" low and you will have a runner that will go a long distance 2" to the rear the same! 2"....2" how far away are you shooting?

Or you miss way over the top! 

 

Now lets talk about reds, a bit different to roe, or muntjac (never shot one but hold on!), etc. Big heads small heads?

So does the 2" work for them? How about a big red stag on the rut? This time of year we had the full Jurassic park with the stags roaring at the top of their lungs telling the young guns to keep away and calling in the hinds. I've hit them square through the heart and seen them drop like a stone. Get up minutes later and walk towards them and they can get up and run 00's of metres... average dog 😆 gi yersel peace ya whallaper!

Yeah why did you even try?

Get a room you guys.

 

You wouldn't know a fact if it walked up to you and shook hands and introduced itself. 

Waddaya want, pics of dead deer? See above. 

Like I said, over the years 2 headshots on deer, the other xxx were heart, a few (4 iirc) runners, non lost. 

It's not prowess it's cutting out the variables, hand loads, range time, range finders, sound mods, high seats, hours watching deer, knowledge of the ground, weather watching, ballistics, follow through, trigger sear, parallax error, etc etc 

 

"Gunshot wound, ballistic and medical experts on an arb forum. Who would have thought it. Not one of which I’d imagine has ever had the chance to hear the buzz or crack of a bullet pass by at close range."

 

You're the one that started the whole thing and when confronted with a different opinion you go back to abuse and diversion, just try and understand that there may be an opinion different from yours. I've heard bullets pass by and even land close by, but you don't seem to want to admit that you could be wrong.

 

 

I am frankly at a loss as to what your point is Bill?

 

I dont try to shoot any big game in the heart,never have,never will.

That's weird.... for one who whose time has been occupied too much, it is still taking up thinking space.

You will have to excuse me but I’ve no time nor patience for a man who boasts of his shooting prowess online. You’ve already occupied too much of it.

something you may wish to try yourself.

when you take a break from blowing smoke up your own arse.

Double lung shot from broad side on is the only shot I would consider . I know there are other options for more skillful people than me .

Hardly a surprise. He should have played 6D chess rather than 5D.
