Scott,

I aim at the bottom third of the deer’s chest whether they are 20 or 40 yards away. I rarely shoot at deer past 40 yards for fear the deer will move and I rarely worry about deer dropping below the flight of the arrow if they are much closer than 20 yards.  There are multiple advantages to aiming at the lower third of a deer’s chest.  Wounds here usually produce better blood trails because the chest cavity doesn’t have to fill with blood before it starts exiting the wound.  

I practice aiming at the bottom third so it’s a normal sight pattern when I’m hunting!

Enjoy creation,
