I could see where It would feel kinda different Mark, I probably wouldn't of done It either. I have however blew through the shoulder blade (the skinny part) shooting my 125 grain Snuffers. Arrow passed completely through.

Paul Schafer shot several arrows into a Cape Buffalo carcass (gun kill) testing his gear, before hunting them. It's a cool video.
I don't see a thing in the world wrong with it.
What in the world could be the rub, here?

To be honest i'd be interested in the results of something like this , only because i'm just starting out and would like to know the outcome of a misplaced shot . You personally did what you felt was right , no harm done .

You hit the shoulder blade, or scapula you should go right through, no problem. Very thin and soft bone. It does have a "spin" running down the middle but would be pretty hard to hit that center enough to try to penetrate. You hit the humerus and that is a whole different ball game. Would have to be pretty low and forward to the hit the big joint or the humeus though.
