With a gun about midway between the two for me. Just seems like a natural spot to aim at that doesn't move a lot, and keeps stray pellets out of the breast.
With a bow, I'm aiming at the head if using Guillotines, or body shots if using Grim Reapers.

I tend to shoot high so I aim at his feet.
But if I could hit where I aim, I would aim where those red things are on his neck.
If I'm not back in five minutes, wait longer!

If he's past 30 yds I'm aiming base of neck but inside that I'm trying to shoot his beady little eyes out.

I aim at the base of the neck pretty much regardless of the distance. Its worked pretty well for me so far.

Used to aim at the head until I missed one at close range. I watched another guy miss high too. That was enough to make me switch over to shooting at the waddles. Hasn't failed me since!

I aim where the feathers end and the neck begins.

With my gun I aim for the head not the neck. Either the gun or the way I shoot it, it shoots just a hair low, and a hair to the left (the bead is not perfectly centered). I am used to shooting it that way so I just aim for the head and maybe a hair to the right. That way I won't shoot too low and probably won't shoot over his head either.

When I use my 835..... I aim for where the feathers end. I have a four power scope mounted on it and I can honestly say that when ever I've pulled the trigger, the bird has been dead.
Now I hunt with my Bear bow and I am aiming for his heart.
