I agree with both of these, that looks a lot like my arrow from my buck last year, and both of those are true as to what happened. Went in, hit the ribs on the otherside (after penetrating thick muscle infront of the left front shoulder) and after about 10 yards I found a broken arrow, and after about 60 yards, my buck.
