Re: Where to on Gemsbok.
Take the width of the front leg, and aim that same distance above the "elbow" or slightly forward of it. Heartshot.

Re: Where to on Gemsbok.
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.
