RE: Bad shot or not???
I shot a doe that was facing almost directly away from me from an elevated stand. Shot beside the spine, in front of the hips and behind the ribs. The arrow stopped when the fletchings reached the hide. The doe walked about 25 – 30 yards and fell over dead. I held another arrow beside the doe and lined the two up. My broad head was somewhere right down in the heart and lungs when it stopped, and it had no exit wound. Entire length of arrow inside the chest cavity. I pulled the arrow back out in reverse and outlaw field dressed her because I’m pretty sure I hit some guts on the way through to the heart and lungs. I’d take that shot again, and I’d also take the shot to the chest and see how it worked out. I would be aiming at the vitals…
