Hit one at dusk. Saw it coming in behind trees, drew when its head was behind big one and didnt even notice if it was "racked" or not but it did seem to have a fairly large neck,I focused on the target and let it fly. Found arrow snapped off {no pass-through} about 10 yards from impact point. Looks like about 4/5" of shaft inside plus broadhead. Lots of hair, little blood. Looked around with the dying flashlight for a few and decided to wait till A.M. Pretty damn sure I had good shot-placement!?!Expected to see blood everywhere after getting out of the tree..we'll see in the morning though...I could here it running for quite a ways guessing 100 yards before I couldnt hear it anymore. Luminock sure was cool to watch for a few. All I can do now is try to get some sleep and hope for the best in the morning...Man I hate when this happens....

Now,,,,gonna need beers to sleep[B)]!

    I had that happen to me TWICE,... :( this year, high shoulder shots, never found either one of them. 1st one I found about 1/5 of the fletching end of the arrow and a lot of blood for 100 yds then nothing. 2d one found the broad head end of the arrow broke off about 50 yds from where I shot the deer (thanks to the dog) Never found anything of them. 3rd one aimed a little lower and found a blood trail all the way to the deer , about 150 yds. I think when the hole is high up it takes a while for the blood to get up there and low the blood leaks out better??

    Good Luck
