This shot resulted in the deepest penetration and is the recommended shot by our PH.

Results - This was the recommended shot placement by Andre, my PH. You shoot basically on the back edge of the leg at the intersection of the line that separates the lower and middle third horizontal line. This is also an area of weaker ribs than any other surrounding the vital organs. We achieved our best penetration with this shot. There is not a lot of vital underneath this area so you have some margin of error if you go high, but very little if you go low. Still, it is the best shot to strive for as it will get both lungs and heart on a broadside shot.hTIt he
