It looks to me with a slightly quartering shot that the arrow hit the offside shoulder and probably didnt have much of an exit. I think it is a really good shot but the blood trail might not of been as good as it could have been if this was the case. I would definitely take that placement, but prefer it to be a little more forward.

Is the exit on the leg?

You said slightly quartering. I didnt know you meant quaterting by like an inch. If it exited behind the shoulder it had to have been just about broadside then right? I mean just ever so slightly quartering?

if entrance I say right on the money.
And Greg....your sketch doesn't show the ENTIRE makeup of a deer's shoulder......only the skeletal structure.There's more to the shoulder than that.....and your sketch is misleading to new hunters. There's a lot of cartilage in the plate that surrounds the shoulder socket that can be avoided on an optimal shot. But you know that.
