The second doe was broadside. I am pretty sure that it didn' t hit anything but ribs. I am not sure if the deers movement could have caused the lack of penetration. The deer was moving down and forward as the arrow entered which could have caused a weird energy transfer.

He feels terrible about it and he hasn' t got much sleep over it lately. He has just been thinking about " What could I have done differently"

He has been shooting his bow regularly throughout the season and everything is still fine on it.

Tommorow we are going to take a little archery break and do some pheasent hunting. There were two dozen pheasents put in the goldenrod field beside my house and his uncles farm is packed full of pheasents.
