Hitting 'Em Where It Hurts IMHO is a good and simple "quick&dirty" rule, but can be quite inaccurate.
Taking arms and legs as example, if you use that rule, thighs (22,5% each) are at -6 to hit (-2 for legs plus -4 for the rule), while hands and feet (5% each) are at -4 to hit. Same for shins (25%) which are at -5 to hit according to HTWIH rule. And this is a bit self-contradictory, because it must be: the bigger the area, the smaller the malus to hit. That's why I prefer my House Rules in this case, where shins and thighs are at -3 to hit (-4 for their upper and lower sublocations, -5 for ankles) and knees are at -5 to hit.
