That hole is the entrance and didn't miss by much but the shot on the offside is right in line up and down with that side but about 2" further back. If it had angle forward a touch instead of back I would have had a different outcome. I've been trying to kill a decent buck with my old T/C Hawken for years and have only managed a few does and yearling bucks. When this buck came in I had to shoot left handed (I'm right handed) and I had to do it rather fast or he would have been gone. I am definitely proud of him! I'm getting a European mount done and for many years to come when people ask I can tell them how I took him with the hawken with a patched round ball!
