I still can't believe some people don't really look at the internal damage and see exactly what was taken out. I do on all of my kills and any of my buddies kills, if I'm there when dressing. In fact I usually take pictures

You get a double-lung AND heart shot all the time?

That's incredible shootin', to me.  Congratulations.

I did this fall. Cut the on-side lung, top of heart, and off side lung. 12 yard shot from a treestand 18 up.

Due to the angle I only really caught a good portion of the on-side lung. I'd say this type of shot does not occur all that frequent, but depending on angles and the deer's posture, it can certainly happen.

I would imagine it is easier to accomplish from a treestand when there isn't a full passthru, so the broadhead has time to "churn" in there as the animal runs off.

I mostly hunt spot and stalk so my findings won't add much to the discussion...

My last buck was a double lung heart shot, but I just cut the top of the heart. He went only 30 yards.

Thanks, guys.  I appreciate your comments.

I think if you get a great double lung hit on a deer, that is as good as it gets! Hitting the heart is just a bonus and probably incidental to where they were aiming, truth be told. Obviously you are doing something right!

Just because you haven't done it no matter how many kills you have dosen't mean it's not possible.

I have done it from a stand a couple of times but always just barely cut the heart but I saw my son center punch the heart with both lungs from a stand and YES we always check the damage are broadheads have done just to make sure. Thats part of bowhunting if you ask me
