    I believe the problem with a front on chest shot is not hitting bone. This means 2 things. less energy transferred into the animal and less damage from bone fragments. In that situation it's better to aim a bit higher and go for the neck. my 2cName: P1000266 [640x480].JPG Views: 793 Size: 151.9 KB
