All depends on where you are and the deer is. Aim for the exit hole, not the enterance.

RE: Where do you aim ??
What I learned this season is......where you aim on the deer's body.....and where the spot is when the arrow gets there......is sometimes two different places.
I made mistakes early on aiming too high. Nothing wrong with aiming for lung. Nothing at all. But....I had a couple duck on relatively close shots.....and the results were high hits.....long tracks......and worse. I have an unknown out there.
What I learned this year is......my effective range is shorter than I once thought. It's also (in my opinion) better to aim a little lower on the deer. Miss low??? Big deal. Clean miss. Deer ducks? DL......and again...no big deal.
Just what I had to learn the hard way.
