Double Lung Hit that goes 1.5 miles??

I think in this case, (and probably most cases there are similar to this), for some reason, the lungs aren't cut enough, or at least cut in the right spot, to deflate them and cause extreme blood loss. I think with this particular case on the bucks I shot, I caught the back and bottom of both lobes. Just not a ton of blood vessels there. I mean, obviously enough to kill him, but not like center punching the lungs. Crazy thing is, 1" to the right and I would sliced the liver in half, and he would've been dead quick, and an inch or two to the left and I would have hit the heart, and he would've been dead quick. Just kind of nuts how it all went down. But it just goes to show, it is not a one size fits all in these type of cases. A good friend of mine who is also a killer, said you could try to replicate that shot on 1000 more animals and not have it happen. Just kind of once in a blue moon type situation for sure.
