    Take the width of the front leg, and aim that same distance above the "elbow" or slightly forward of it. Heartshot.

    Take the length of the leg(up to where the body starts), multiply that by 2 upwards. Take another leg length to the left(using pictures above as reference). You will see a marble like substance just bellow the horns, called the eye. aim just above to the right of the eye, about an inch, and you should be solid.
