Default Open Rage flight pattern?

Two questions here

1. Put yourself in my shoes. Very large buck (180+) at 30 yards and closing. I draw back my DXT and when I reach my full draw my rage opens up(im guessing due to an above normal draw speed and force thanks to my massive adrenaline rush) . The buck continues on the trail and passes just over 10 yards away. Due to the fact that I have never shot an open rage I did not shoot and let the deer walk. I feel as if I owe it to any animal, especially one of that caliber to leave as little as possible up for chance. I have never shot an open rage and do not know if the flight would have changed, maybe resulting in a wounded deer. I feel as if I made the right choice. What would you do?

2. Has anyone ever tested the ability for a rage to fly true when opening prior to the shot? If so what did you find out??

Any info is greatly appreciated.
