Default RE: Worst shot that came out Ok

This year.

25 yards and broadside. It was 10 minutes before dark. I made what would have been a perfect shot. I could see my lighted nock heading straight for the crease behind the shoulder. Then, out of nowhere, the arrow makes a 45 degree turn and enters just before the rear ham. The arrow hit a twig just before impact, and turned sharply. It came out in the center of the opposite ham. The deer ran off.

I waited until dark and got down. I was amazed to find blood everywhere. I couldn't believe the blood trail. The deer was laying 30 yards from where I shot it.

I must have hit that main artery back there, because it sure bled out fast. I was lucky to recover that deer.
