Default RE: jumping the string

A deer I shot this year jumped the string at 22 yards(I walked it off) I thank goodeness was shooting the lower third of her, I did make one mistake though on this shot, she had both her front legs side by side, so when she ducked she not only went down, but back, the arrow hit the very end of her shoulder blade and deflected into her spine right over the tip of the shoulder blade. She dropped like a ton of lead bricks. Next shot like this I will(If I can)wait until she swings the near leg forward, or if they are side by side shoot an inch or 2 further back.
