    I'm gonna go with the black dot. Behind the shoulder blade and at this angle I am going to say double lung.

    Black. It's gonna give you a little bit of room for error in every direction.

    I always aim for the heart. If he ducks (which chances are he'll duck even if it's the slightest little bit) I get both lungs, if he doesn't I shoot him in the heart if my shot's true.

    About 1/2 way between the black and pink dot assuming no elevation difference.

    1st choice of course is a heart shot... but i have yet to have a deer run more than 100 yards after a double lung shot!

    I would aim Pink. But it really depends on how alert the deer is. But then again I am always over analyzing things.

    X2 I like this school of thought. It's also a bit better if you misjudge your distance in either direction. If he's closer, you'll still get the lungs, if he's too far there is a good chance you'll shoot under him and he'll live to be hunted another day.

    For those people that answered blue or pink, have you experienced any problems with hitting bone or not getting a pass through?

    I'm going with the blue dot.

    And this may be a better picture to give a better idea of exactly where everything is.
