Shot placement/recovery...w/photos

I had a somewhat interesting kill a couple weeks ago. I shot this doe in standing corn as she came through an opening about 8 yards away. She was somewhat quartering towards, but stretched out to look back behind her which exposed a large portion of her chest. I was confident with the shot so I let'r rip. As the arrow hit I heard a LOUD crack and she ran off with the arrow burried to the fletching tight behind her front leg. I'll give ya the rest of the story as we go on.
Given the photo's, what organs do you think were damaged with the arrow placement?

Both lungs pretty good, maybe some heart, no liver.

You can't see the exact exit in that last photo. The arrow exited between the 2nd and 3rd rib from the rear of the rib cage.

I'd say Norb's right on...I'll even say you barely caught the back of the nearside lung,through the liver and into the paunch and out....

Both lungs. Too high for the heart judging by the pics, maybe the top or the aorta though. In and out in front of the diaphram, so not the stomach, doubtful on the liver. Looks like a good shot and a short blood trail to me.

Possibly one lung, maybe no lung. Stomach and/or spleen, and liver. Just guessing.

May have got back of one lung first. . ., but I would bet on just liver and gut. Being as high in the rib cage- you may have hit the main artery down the spine first.
