Congrats Jeff!! You did everything right In my book In leaving her go In fear of a gut shot/to far back shot. Well done!
Experience Is the number one best teacher out there, everyone learns from a prior expierence or someone else's experience.
One more thing to add. That shot Is still a very lethal hit (liver and or guts). You didn't miss the lungs by much. Don't beat yourself up over It, there both just as dead as the other!
