I know how it is to get excited with the circumstances that you had in front of you. The best that could have happened is a shot little further towards the rib cage an deep shot into the lungs. A deer can go on one lung for a while an could recover. Your best bet would have been to wait at least two hours an would have took up a good trail from start to finish if he was going to expire. The meat will not spoil if he is still alive unless infection started to get him in the days ahead.

The type of broadheads are not the main issue here.
