What do you guys think? Could I have did anything better
Yep. Not pulled the trigger.
Again, I didn't want to take a shot like that but I didn't think I had much of an option
Yep, you did. You didn't have to pull the trigger.
Now, since you
did pull the trigger, I hope you've given it more of an effort in looking for him than your story implies. You owe it to him to search to high heaven now that you've released that arrow. Do I think it was a fatal hit? Yes, but you're gonna have crap for a blood trail.
