Very funny! ROFL I hope you don't mind RedFrog. It is a very clever play on words don't you think?

I do think RedFrogs comment exemplifies the nature of the situation.
If it works for you.

I have stated what my preferences are and why. But all the anatomy and ballistics aside, the bottom line is, it works for me.

Sometimes I think it's more about what one has experienced, or about the particular ammunition and or rifle one carries. Let's be honest here, a shoulder shot with a 6.5 Swedish Mauser may not be the best idea.

But it seems to me that what matters most is what works for that person.
I don't know, maybe what I call a heart shot is in fact on the high side and is more a shoulder shot. Or it could be that those who advocate a shoulder shot are actually hitting lower then they think and hitting within the Heart/Lung zone.

And with that, I am ready to move on. If others wish to debate more, have fun, and keep it civil. Remember, we are in this together whether we want to be or not.
