Yes, that's true. You need to shoot over the stomach as well. I've hit bucks too far back, either from not enough lead or the bullet being deflected by brush and broken the femur on two occassions. With the femur broken, he isn't going far or very fast. If you get the femoral artery, he can bleed out from that alone. All in all, it's nice to have one that will consistantly reach all the way up the animal.
BTW, a shot to the liver kills very well.
It boils down to what you insist on in bullet performance and where you draw the line between selecting a cup and core or some premium. E
