Title: What's your preferred shot placement?
Post by: Muskie03 on March 01, 2011, 10:50:29 AM
Alright guy's, where do you like to hit em'. In strut I like a broadside body shot.  Standing I like to go for the legs, breaking one and hitting the femoral artery.

When broadside I prefer slightly behind the wingbutt on a bird that is not blown up. If strutting, if picturing a tic-tac-toe board, the middle and upper middle of the board, if that makes any sense ;D.
On a strutter facing dead away, the ol texas heart shot and if not strutting, anywhere straight up the spine above the tail feathers. I also like to practice a dead on facing shot and try to hit just above the beard.... but I'm not slick enough to pull off that shot on a real bird :-[

I prefer to take facing away or quartered away shots the most, but it basically comes down to hitting the vitals, spine or hips depending on the angle.
