I know where I like to aim for heart/lung, or neck shots, but I've been reading up a bit on shoulder shots, and I have some questions, for those who may know:
1. Most importantly, can someone post up an image with a dot showing exactly where you aim for the shoulder shot, please?
2. Do you ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, or NEVER also hit a lung with this shot? Ever hit two, or just one, or neither?
3. (related to #2) Does this shot ALWAYS, SOMETIMES, or ALMOST NEVER require a quick coup de grace follow up shot?
4. Does this shot always require a full broadside, or can you get away with a quartering toward or away? If so, how much on quartering away, and how much on quartering toward - 15 degrees, 30 deg, 45 deg, 60 deg, what, on each? And still have it be an effective shot? Requires a smaller angle of quartering toward or away than a heart/lung shot, before feeling confident to take it, or about the same?
5. (related to #4) Do you always hit both shoulder blades, or just one, or what?
6. How far do they run, on average, with this shot? If it depends, then what does it depend on?
7. Would you ever take this shot with a bow, with say, Muzzys, or gun only?
8. Do you have an opinion as to whether, *generally speaking*, it is more desirable or less desirable than a neck shot, when given a choice?
Thanks.
