Said so in the thread title, Bob.
I would probably have taken a shot myself. Not the shot you took, though. I'd have aimed IN FRONT of the shoulder, just where the shoulder meets the brisket.
I have to agree it was operator error and poor shot placement that were at fault, not the broadhead.
I agree with this. You have to change your shot placement on a deer when it is quartering away or towards you. Keep that in mind for next time.
