On average, how far does a deer run after being hit with and arrow?

I'd say average for a lethally wounded deer that's not disturbed is about 100 yards. Some less, some a little more. There are tons of factors to throw around here.

On good shots in the chest cavity (lungs and heart), deer normally go somewhere between 25 and 100 yds. Every once in a while, maybe 125yds. I’d say the average for deer I shoot is around 60-75yds.
Like said above, if the shot is not in the chest cavity, it could be anywhere from 20yds to miles, or not ever recovered because of no sign or the critter not being dead!
