So it's taken me 5 years to get a shot at a deer with my bow. And I made an error, my mesh screen was not completly clear of my arrow. I had the screen 3/4 of the way down thinking I would clear it, wrong! 20 yard shot deflected my arrow to the right causing a gut shot. I quickly nock another arrow as she only ran 10 yards away, slightly quartered away, but she had the sickly hunch back and sway. I draw back and let my pin settle, confirm arrow clearance and release. Heart shot. Pic shows the 1st entrance gut shot and the 2nd exit hole. She ran a whole 20 yards after the heart shot. First time getting out this season. She's not a monster buck but it was just as exciting for me to finally tag a deer with my bow.

If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

Congrats on your first kill. You got lucky this time, but you also learned or I hope you learned a valuable lesson. Always practice out of what you will be hunting in or out. If in a pop up, take a couple shots out of it. If in a tree stand, draw your bow and see if there is a limb or something that will hinder your shot, BEFORE the deer of a life time steps out.
