Matrix deer and high shot?

Most on here have probably seen the Matrix deer clip. Anyways, I was watching it on youtube and it looked as though the shot was too high to begin with. That is not to take away from the reaction by the doe. I posted the link below. Thoughts?

I put my mouse on the sweet spot and left it there. The shot was very high. It still might have been a fatal shot but it was really high. I think it would have hit the shoulder bone dead on. The deer was pretty fast though.

She was very alert when the arrow was released, Looks to me she dropped down a good bit before the arrow made contact.

I think the guy shooting at the deer needs a faster bow. Some practice would help to.

RE: Matrix deer and high shot?

definently looks high to begin with...atleast it was a clean miss...looks like he gave her a hair cut...

i hate to admit it...last year i shot an alert buck...my lighted nock told me i sent it home perfect...till he dropped like a sack of rocks...he took it really high...probably in the back bone...he busted my shaft and took 3 inches with him. a 400yd SPARSE trail of pindrops and a 7 or 8man grid search for most of a day came up fruitless. im sure he lived to see another day. pretty sure he got killed in flintlock season...someone killed a 14" wide high, thick 9pt in the area...that describes him nicely....

i never really knew NOT to shoot an alert deer...he came through chasing does...i stopped him and the second he stopped i let the arrow fly...i should just let him run and hoped he came back...plenty of daylight and i saw the does twice that hunt...

just a lesson we gotta learn...i learned the hard way...
