The sweet spot

[Keyman]

I am looking for a book on the best place to put a boolit into all type of creatures and to instruct others that are learning. We think we know the sweet spot, but bison hunting in Alaska requires that you to take a short class. I am sure this is the same for big game hunting in Africa.

My co-worker drew a bison tag for the Delta herd and brought one home.
(7mm WinMag: one shot, one bison)
He said the difficult part was getting the herd to move away,
because they had gathered around their fallen comrade.
He only had one tag and a lot of angry bison.

I've taken the bison class, never could draw a ticket.
Good luck hunting!

When I cleaned my first blackbuck I was really surprised where the heart was located. It was much farther forward than that of a whitetail, at the front of the chest cavity and just forward of the front legs when standing upright.

Yes that is what the problem is.We think we know the sweet spot,but Boolit placement is key to a clean kill.

I did some research 20 years ago before I went to Africa and was surprised to find how the innards of some were constructed. Never did have a conclusive or unified resource.

On my first trip to Africa I was given a copy of "the perfect shot" by my Ph. It shows shot placement and anatomy of most of the common african game animals. There's a second book for shot placement on dangerous game as well. Came in very handy. And yes, African game's vitals are placed somewhat differently than north american game.

Guess what, I found a book after much looking called "The Perfect Shot North America" by Craig T Boddington Safari Press Inc. ISBN 978-1-57157-267-7 A great read and a great help for shot placement.
