It ran full bore until it dropped pretty much. Ran right down a trail until the very end. It didn't take out the heart either, the heart stopped the arrow so it didn't go all the way through it. Deer are AMAZINGLY motivated animals when they want to be. I have never had anything like that happen since.

I shot one last season from 20 yards with a 600 grn 12 ga magnum slug. Took out the lungs and top of the heart (seperated the arteries from the top of the heart). It ran about 100 yards jumping a fence along the way before it dropped.
