    My last was through the shoulder of a young red stag but it depends on a number of things as to where I target. Distance, shooting angle, how much meat I want to take and even which rifle and load I am using.
    Experience. What you get just after you needed it.

    Best post so far. A practical point of view.

    Good comment. Ditto for me, as all these things go through my head automagically and then....bang.
