Rutt and Strutt, just to put that in a little perspective, a deer that is walking at 4 mph can travel about 6 feet in one second. A bow shooting 270 FPS takes about 1/3 second to get 30 yards. So if you are shoting at a walking deer at 30 yards, it can travel about 2 feet before the arrow gets there. Or, if it is really slow at 2 MPH, it can travel about 1 foot before the arrow gets there.

Like everyone is saying, there is so much more that goes into shooting at a living animal then shooting at stationary targets.

I still say you made a great shot!
