RE: arrow impact?
I have had shots with no pass through and only half the arrow stuck in....one of the best shots I ever made was a quartering away where the arrow sunk in 3/4ths of the way and hit the doe in the heart....still got a blood trail and found it under 50 yards away..as for the miss hit, everyone has done it...could be nerves, the wind, the angle, miscalculations, etc...good job finding her.
