bjk with only 6 inches of penetration it sounds like he must have hit a little further forward than he thought and wound up hitting the shoulder blade and/or possibly even the leg. hitting right behind the shoulder would be all rib until it may have hit the far shoulder. I wasn't there and neither were you so who really knows. Hopefully it hit the shoulder blade and deflected away from the vitals and he will make it. How long did you wait before you started to track him? The reason I ask is maybe he only caught one lung and if you all pushed him to quickly he may be piled up in the next county.
