Guys
I have always gone for the heart lung shot. I was reading another list and they seemed to be advocating head shots. That kinda seemed a little optimistic most of the time. I posted this picture of the actual location of the heart and lung anotomy. I was impressed how far back the heart and lungs are from the chest wall. I was wondering what everyone's opinion is on shot placement.

I aim for the shoulder with the rifles we use today that should anchor him right where he is standing

I usually aim for behind the shoulder, rib-cage area and center of chest and a little high.. For running shots then i go for the head..
