No prob.. but I wll answer that.
I shoot bulls and bucks in the heart/lungs. Bigger target, fail safe , bleed out and only loose a little rib meat in the process. Don't want to damage the hear gear either.
Cows / does ... head shot, smaller target..if I miss animal walks... not to worried about it. Excuse to hunt longer...wife doesn't know the diff
