Did you catch the scapula on the entry side? Your hit is looking alot like a hit I just made on a buck last night. He was a thick ole boy. I didn't get any penetration. Shooting an expandable head. they will be coming off for good and the next time I step into the woods I'll be flinging a similar single bevel cut on contact head.I shot ABOWYER GRIZZLY broadheads... stainless version. This was on a 80 lb doe. You can see entry wound then the head hit theopposite shoulder and tip curled back...rolled back...i freaked when i saw tip. No exit wound, i was lucky it dropped 25 yards away.
Thoughts ??

I think of hitting in the shoulder area as a lottery regardless of head. You can skew the odds in your favor with arrow setup(and ensure penetration in a larger portion of it), but that big ol' ball and socket is still there.
...I think that is s freight train. Surprised you didnt pin him to the ground 
This is a great picture for you and for me. If you count the ribs your entry was between the 5th and 6th. On mine I center punched the 5th. I think both of us, with this shot placement is highly likely that we caught the scapula. Me for sure. My shot was more broadside so the far shoulder didn't come into play like your quartering away. With the damage my broadhead, and arrow shaft sustained I'm doubtful that I only caught the rib. Your shot was between 5 and 6 not a lot farther back, and depending on the position of her front leg on the entry side that shoulder could have been in play, plus the leg bone on the off side. Double whammy for your arrow.
File off the needle type tip and put a tiny radius on it and curling will be less of an issue. Better yet, make a Tonto tip.
Well that's a joint all right just not a ball-and-socket. But at least I know which one you were talking about now. I guess any of those bones if hit correctly with a stainless steel tip would/could cause damage to the Broadhead
