I killed my first deer with a bow on Saturday and have a couple of questions for all of you seasoned veterans. I shot a doe at about 15 yards that was completely broadside. I thought I made a solid double lung shot and watched as the deer ran off. I never heard her go down so I started looking at the ground for my arrow thinking that I may have completely missed her. I waited for about 35 minutes before I got of my stand and went to the area where my arrow should have been. No arrow and no bloodtrail whatsoever. At this point I am fairly certain that I missed her but not wanting to push her in the event that I only wounded her, I spent another 30 minutes searching for my arrow. Still nothing and no signs of blood. So I decided to search the hillside to be certain I did not just wound her and leave her to die. Sure enough, she was about 30 yards away from where I shot her and it was a solid double lung hit and a complete pass through as evidenced by the massive hole on her other side and the large pool of blood. My questions to all of you is why no bloodtrail and where did my arrow go? Thanks in advance.

For those that may be curious, I am shooting a Mathews FX with a Muzzy ZE and used Gold Tip 5575's with Steelhead 100's.
