Thread: Bullet Placement, where is your sweet spot?

I always go for the crease just behind the shoulder. Lob a 308 in there and it's good night
Never been keen to try a head/neck shot in fear of wounding and losing it

Yeah im the same as @sako75 , just slightly in behind the front should for entry, smashes through the vitals, (heart lungs ) biggest area to aim for with biggest target to hit. Havent lost an animal to date, never dropped one on the spot but a quick scout on the blood trail leaves usually only a 30 meter walk to the animal. I feel confident shooting my rifle and could most likely make the neck head shots if I was forced too but prefer to whistle or bark at the deer to pull them up or make them move a little on the spot for a shot. Hunting for meat so in behind the shoulder usually allows at least one front shoulder to still be able to be quickly boned for sausages patties salami's etc.

sako75 Interesting you say that i've just watched a dvd and thats where they aim, there reason is 100% kill and less meat loss, my hot spot has now changed from the shoulder to the crease.
