It's been fun to read all the replies here. I didn't expect this, but it's been informative and fun to read. I'm out of town right now, but several people wondered about the arrow weight. If I remember correctly, the total was about 370 grains.
Regarding the shot placement, I agree that the shot was a little high. I hit him a little far back b/c I had read that if you took a quartering away shot like that, it needed to be a little further back than usual as to hit the vitals well. It appears also that the shot was further back than I'd have liked it to be.
I'm super excited for this upcoming season and will be hoping to capture a better outcome on film and learn from this hard lesson of my rookie season. I've since switched to a different broad head. It's muzzy with a slightly wider blade and a trocar tip that I think will be better for me.
