"Not to nitpick..."
It's not just a "little" off anatomically. It's pretty far off.
To the point where the actual aim point would be bordering the C/D zone.
I don't think that's a small deal when it's being advertised as an "anatomical" target.
I would imagine someone as evidence based as Tom Givens would appreciate that it's more than a nit.

Sorta around sometimes for some of your shitty mod needs.

I think high thoracic hits are just fine as are low thoracic hits.
I personally like the QIT-97.
But I can't imagine an "anatomic" target prioritizing the smaller target of upper great vessels over the larger target of the heart with a circle.
Plus the subclavians are protected by clavicles so I'm not sure that's a great place to be aiming.
I would rather try and hit a heart than an aorta just on a size basis.
From an incapacitation standpoint, hitting an aorta would probably cause quicker bleed out than heart but so many variables there I'm not sure it's worth debating.
So I personally wouldn't use that "anatomic" target over something with just a narrower vertical chest scoring zone.
I was assuming that the cardboard target is a human with all the fleshy parts (it has ears!) so that the shoulders on the outline of that target includes all the traps and deltoids above the skeleton.
The point is that it's hard to guess what they were thinking of in terms of anatomy, but at the very least, the B zone should be flipped to the lower part of their C zone.

Here is a male model superimposed.
I did a couple different scales whether you match the head or the torso size.
I did anchor based on the face T-zone.
Again matching by T-zone, that's where I get the heart on the X-ray.
Even if I squash the skeleton image down to try and match shoulders, the circle is still too high.
