OK, with my bow I aim just behind the shoulder, so that my arrow can hit vitals without being stopped by the shoulder blade. But for hunting with a rifle on smallish whitetails, should I aim in that same spot, in order to decrease chance of hitting bone, or since it's a rifle, simply aim directly at the shoulder on a broadside shot, given that the round will punch through just fine? IOW, which is going to hit the lungs/heart better or more likely? I'll be using Federal Ammo, 130 gr, .270 win. Quartering away shot is a cinch. Quartering toward, I'll aim at the shoulder. But broadside, should I aim at the shoulder or just behind? Thanks. Rifle season starts day after tomorrow here.
