No quarrel with the shot placement - top ofthe heart and both lungs always works with a sharp broadhead. My question is symantics - are we doing shot placement or aiming point?
If we're talking aiming point - I would raise it slightly - to more the center of the lungs, then you have greater margin for error. Because of the hair hanging, half way up a Black Bear is approximately 1/3 way up actual body and a good aiming point.
Great series, thanks.

Thanks for your input and expertise rickconley, much appreciated! We are doing shot placement here, but there is great validity in your aiming point strategy, a good point to mention as well... Looking forward to more comments.

Thank you - and I intended to comment on the bow hunting side - with a rifle I'd agree placement is more precise (usually?).
