RE: Aim for the exit hole....an interactive exercise
1. I'd aim slightly lower, about an 1.5".
3. Slightly lower
4. about an 1" lower
5. Lower and left.
7. lower on the calf
8. about an inch lower
But we'd both have just as dead deer.
Well done.

Very goodJeff all would be kill shots, I just think #3 is still walking but can be stopped of course.
#5 I would probably aim lower as I seem to always hit high at 20' high.
Sorry Germ not mature enough.[8D]

No issues, Rob. Thats why we do this. I just noted the elevation it seemed the hunter/photographer's view had.
3. Slightly lower
Again.....elevation made me make the choice I did. It seemed from the hunte/photographer's view that there was elevation enough to warrant the placement I made. No wrong answer, though.....and talking to you abou tthis last year has made me lower my POI. Thanks.
4. about an 1" lower
No issues, buddy
5. Lower and left.
Again....no issues! I just know the exit is gonna be in the lower brisket, anyways. Personal preference....and probaby a LOT to do with confidence in hitting the lower mark. My margin for error would be greater.
7. lower on the calf
LOL....I actually thought of you when I made this choice....and thought about the threads RE: area below the spine being vitals. I picked a happy medium and let it fly.
8. about an inch lower
Again.....personal preference....and through the boiler room with either.
Thanks for playing!

Kyle.....
If you'll go back and look at No. 9 again....the angle is quartering away. The exit hole would ALREADY be in the brisket.....or...in front of the offside leg if shot where I have it marked.

I'm going to go try on some real critters now
Have a good weekend.

Hey MOTOWN....
Chris I made a caveat on No. 5 that we were 20' up on that one. Would that/does that change you rmind on the angle? Interested.
