At ten feet? Wrinkle under red dot. Depends a bit on whether head up or down
Agree. I would go two wrinkles below red dot. biggest mistake made with this shot is always shooting too high. If in doubt shoot lower
I agree with blue and red being too high. And would choose other also. at that angle I would draw a line across ann inch or two above the top of the tusk sockets.

I love these posts! Never shot an elephant before, probably never will, but still a fun exercise.
I have always gone overboard studying animals anatomy. Even on down to a Turkey. They can be very tricky to aim at for the heart lung area using archery equipment. So pinpoint placement is very important.

Disclaimer I have never hunted elephant before, probably never will. It seems to me that red is too high from this angle, but would it be appropriate from say 50 yards? Or still too high?
Given he is straight on me and not enough brush to bother me right at the bottom of his eyes in the middle of his head

I agree especially as the shooter is elevated a bit as well.
At 10', an F450 is coming @ 20+ mph and you have to shoot the driver in the head...

Below red.
Closer the elephant, lower the shot.
