Thanks guys.  

Yes, the new quiver works great.  I've never been superstitious, but this my first time in the woods with it, so maybe it's got some luck about it.  Not sure if you guys saw my judo/small game head modification on the other thread or if you can see it very well in these pictures, but I've got something that works great for that as well now.

Awesome shot.

It is hard to believe there wasn't a very big blood trail with that shot placement and hole.

Here's the exit side once I skinned her out.  

 

And where the broadhead exited the ribcage and hit the leg.

 

And the exit out of the back of the leg.  

 

I'm impressed with the performance, to say the least.

Congrats. And a lot more satisfying than shooting one with a shotgun or any other modern killing equipment isn't it. Traditional is just a step up from getting one like John Rambo got that wild hog in First Blood.
