Hang in there FT, I believe this has happened to us all using archery tackle, & if someone says no.....well I hope it never happens to them. Its a mistake to learn from. Quartering shots look great, but nothing beats broadside. I lost one last year to a high quartering shot. Big 10 pt. Made me sick for months. My brother may have found it later in February, but I never claimed it due to never finding the arrow or broad head.

Not sure who quoted this, but I think about this every time I step in the woods.
