When he first started relating the events to me, I thought the same thing. But the fact that the arrow penetrated so little makes me think it hit something early in the penetration. I am wavering on whether it may have lived or not, thinking probably not, but hoping that maybe it will. I am thinking that the lack of penetration might mean it struck bone early and didn't get to any vitals. I just spoke to him about it again and he told me the arrow penetrated maybe 4 inches...I think very little. We are going back at the end of the week, hopefully we will see him again...

Any additional info or thoughts will be much appreciated.
