Its like archery
Its exactly like archery hunting.
Lung shots are OK but kill slow. Shoot them in the heart which is a 3 inch target and they take a few steps and die. Shoot them in the shoulder will break some bone and slow them down. Or shoot them in the head and drop them in their tracks.
The two deer I have shot with outlaw 225 grain bullets this season both had a nasty exit hole and left a nice blood trail. Both were double lung shots. Both came from the same batch of reloads that average 1050 fps on the chrony.
I like the subsonics when shooting in the neighborhoods but prefer 125 or 150 grain Nosler Ballistic Tips at 2200 fps when noise doesn't matter. Even then a double lung shot means the deer is going to run up to 200 yards on you.
Aim for the heart or head or neck where it joins the head if you want instant kills.
