Good Job!

Out of curiousity, where did the arrow enter and exit?

She was severely quartering away to the right. The arrow entered a bit far back, but at that angle it basically opened her up really wide, hit the lung, and left a monster blood trail from the food plot down to where she crashed. Oddly, I didn't pop any guts, but they were literally falling out of the hole when we found her. 4-5 ribs were cleanly cut, and the wound was approximately 5 inches long. I waited at full draw for quite awhile waiting for a broadside shot, but she wouldn't turn. Had she been far away I wouldn't have shot, but at 10 yards or so I knew I'd be okay.
