The frontal shot has been discussed at length on other internet sites, so I borrowed a picture from The Bowsite as posted by William Allard (BB on that site) to show the angle to look for in taking a frontal shot.
The spot to hit is small, which is why I consider it to be a close range opportunity only. To the left and right are shoulder blades, a little lower is brisket and the start of the ribcage, and higher will result in a hit that goes into the neck but may never enter the chest cavity. The only vital hit from this angle is into this small pocket, but when done properly an arrow will penetrate into the chest cavity and take any animal down very quickly.
Thought this picture might help show exactly where to aim. In my opinion, only take this shot if the angle is right and the range is very close.
