On the anatomy chart posted of the elk if you place an 8" diameter circle around the 3 marked reference points which has the largest margin for error based on putting a bullet through vital organs?
Some may personally prefer one shot over the other, but the facts remain the facts when you talk of the shot that offers the largest margin of error.
Heck, some prefer head shots, the absolute worst choice, IMO.

Throw a 16" circle around the three points and now tell me which one has the largest margin of error. I'd rather totally miss than wound with a low percentage of recovery but a high chance of the animal dying. At 16" lots of that circle is off the animal in position #3 but very little of it falls in an area that won't kill it quickly. Not sure you can say the same about the other two aim points. It clearly all depends on your definition of margin of error what the facts are. Just because you see it one way and others see it another...doesn't make your way clearly a fact.
