The arrow was broke off right at the beginning of the fletchings. I found that small part of the arrow at a right angle about five feet from where the deer had been standing. I thought that was a very odd spot for the arrow to break.
I hope at this point it's a graze shot and the deer will be fine, given that it doesn't look good for finding it.
