Which begs the question...
Which ruins more meat? Shooting an animal in the shoulder and anchoring it, or hitting an animal too far back and having it run off to the bush full-tilt before a follow up shot can be made and losing the entire animal?
Just playin devils advocate....

Which ruins more meat, an animal shot too far back, running off wounded, or a shoulder shot a little too high that knocked the animal down, but the animal got to it's feet and ran off wounded? Or perhaps the shoulder shot only broke one shoulder, and the animal ran off wounded. Either animal might be recovered, or either animal might be lost.
If you are going to consider the possibility of a botched lung shot, you must also include the possibility of a botched shoulder shot.
