OK here is the deal I found the deer it was not a lung shot but went between both ribs and thought the liver and spleen. It bleed out fast and died 50 yards from where I stopped looking. I feel like I made the right decision to wait. Working hard to clean and pkg the deer now. Wow thank you all for the help. I think my big problem was calming down and being in the moment and waiting for the right time to pull so the deer would not see me. I have been shooting deer that knew what was up and were jumping the string. I got this now!! It just took me working hard and not making all the same mistakes. And a lot of practice shooting.

My arrow is hand made red oak that I split from a log. The fiber holding the feathers is made from milkweed and is glued with deer hide glue the arrowhead is attached with pinepitch and did not break. Leg tendon sinew was used to tie the point and the point is made from the flint from my creek.
