Some luck + some experience=? (follow up pics p.2)

Well I owe this one to some good equipment (heavy arrows) and some experience.
Arrived at my spot this morning and decided to take in the climber. I already had a stand in this piece, but, the wind couldn't make up its mind. So I decided to head for a ridge where hopefully it would be a little more consistent.
A slow morning so at 8:20 I hit the grunt tube and a few minutes later I hear a deer approaching. Its a doe coming in at a trot I look behind her for a trailer but she's alone. Decide to take her but she's not gonna stop on her own so I let out a low Maaa. She locks up and stares in my direction (real tense). I'm at full draw.
Last season I had an 8 point out of this same tree duck me when I stopped him. Seeing this doe is tense I pick the lowest hair I can see on her side. She tried to limbo but I caught her in the spine, had to finish her with a follow up shot. Not my best shot but my equipment did its job. 60# Striker 644 grain arrow with two blade Zwickey 12yd shot
Autopsy results

Zwickey held up great

I like this pic with the tree stand in the background
