How'd dat happen?
 
Shot this buck on the 10th from my tree stand. The first picture is the entrance wound from 100 gr 2 blade Rage. The second pix is the exit wound. The broadhead actually cut the left front elbow tendon on its exit even though it wasn't a complete pass through. I found the arrow about 40 ydsfrom where I shot him. It looked like a perfect quartering away shot as I "aimed for the exit hole".
The arrow went through the stomach and liver but missed both lungs and heart. Would not have thought that possible on this shot. The deer went about 150 yds before bedding down and expiring. After the shot I found corn from his stomach very near where he was standing when I shot himso I gave him about 3 hrs before trailing him.

Made a very similar shot on a doe a few years ago. She stood 80 yards off and bedded down for an hour. She then stood up and walked away. I backed out and came back 6 hours later and she was then expired.

Appears to be a decent shot. I can see how it missed the heart but you would think that Rage would have atleast clipped the lungs.

I don't see how that exit missed the heart? Vey close! Congrats on your kill regardless.;)

I shot a buck once, 13 yds quartered away. Caught the near lung, his liverguts and broke his opposite shoulder. The arrow never hit the heart or caught the 2nd lung I don't know how. He was alive over 2 hrs after shooting him. I had to come back in the morning and find him.
