Default A Different shot

I usually just read and don't say much but I had to tell this one.
I have been hunting with my Exocet and not seeing any thing the first 3 times out [in AR] this year so when I got caught by a herd of 6 deer starting up the the it was a bit frustrating.
The lead doe stomped and barked at me and run off aways so I immediately put an arrow in the Exocet and knelt to see if she would sneak back for a look, about 3 or 4 minutes later she poked her head out from behind the tree that was my 30 yd mark, I was on the ground about 5 yds closer than the tree stand. I shot her right under the ear and in back of the jaw where the carotid arteries and the spine are right together and she dropped right there.
Now I have some friends that say I was just lucky to get away with that but I don't think so, I can hit a 3 inch spot all day at 25 yds using my knee as a rest and this is the second deer I have gotten that way. What do you think? Lee
