deer shot

8x56,

How does a neck shot hit the heart? I am having one heck of a time trying to visualize that. If you are shooting the deer right between the shoulders as it is facing you, then I can see the bullet hitting the heart. I think the rest of us are talking about neck shots where the deer is standing broadside; however, a neck shot while the deer is facing you might be the best way to go because there is a really high chance of hitting the spine with the bullet mushrooming. On the broadside neck shot, the chance of hitting the spine with the bullet is rather small.
