As Shaw said, the spine dips a LOT lower than most folks realize....there is no "void" between the spine and lungs to speak of, as you can see from the picture posted. I also saw a picture of a deer someone killed on Archery Talk a couple of years ago, though I can't find the thread now, where the guy's broadhead hit both the spine AND the top of the lungs. You CANNOT put an arrow in a [anatomically healthy] deer that goes between the spine and lungs without hitting one or the other (or both).


That deer had scoliosis!! Just kidding.
That is a very interesting picture. Thanks for educating me, guess I've always been told/taught wrong. My buddy didn't missed by much,exit was a good 6" below the top of his back.
