Four inches is in the kill zone, CRM; plus, most deer duck, anyway. If it were golf, we'd say you missed it on the "pro" side.
That is totally dependant on where you aim! If I miss 4" low on a critter, and he does not react in time, a lot of times that would be a clean miss low for me!

I usually aim at the top of the heart (Main artery area).
If they don't duck, that'll get me heart & lungs.
If they do duck, that'll get me lungs.
And, if I happen to shoot a little high or low due to something I did, I'm still in the boiler room.
Of course, you know as well as I do, it don't always work out exactly as planned, but aiming at that area, seems to give me the largest margin for error, or duckage.
Another good thing about that spot is, it will do damage to the shoulder muscles, which makes it harder for them to travel. That's especially true if you get a pass through, which I usually do.
Just saying 4 inches ain't bad shooting -- especially at night. And if any animal happens to duck a little, it's still good. Not saying anyone is shooting deer at night ... 'course CRM IS in East Texas.... I kid.

I was in my early 20's before I got my first daytime deer.
I forfeit my shot. Post midnight. Same dayish and too late. I shot yesterday at Double G around 4:30pm before they closed. Got the RH Blueridge reserved and double nocked. About 1 1/4". Closer to center cut riser is nice.
