What are the chances of getting this picture?

Was checking trail cam images this afternoon since it is way too hot to hunt and lady bugs and wasp and yellow jackets basically trapped us in our house because it was 83 today...the trail cam at the stand where my wife shot her deer captured this image. The camera takes a photo every 5 minutes if there is movement in front of it...what are the odds of getting this picture at the exact second the 245 grain Powerbelt Hollow Point struck!

Pretty neat. I have seen a couple of photos on the web where you see the streak/ blur of the arrow as it is approaching the the deer.

Usually that is a capture from a video...the one my trail cam got was just as the camera was triggering on its set 5 minute delay and was triggered by movement...2 seconds one way or another and there wouldn't have been an impact picture...
 
That happens in a split second. 300 seconds in 5 minute span. 600 half seconds.
Pretty much 1 in 600 chance :D
Nice shot Mrs Kubota!
 
I used to have a pic of a 200 lb. boar with all of his feet drawn up to his body in the act of falling to the ground, mouth wide open. I shot him with a .450 Bushmaster and didn't have a clue about the pic until I ran the sd card two weeks later. Unfortunately, my iPad crashed and the picture crashed with it:(
 
Three is a pic for an ad about trigger speed.

That's incredible. Nice buck too. Congrats.
We ought to have a thread for crazy trail cam pics. I have one from last year that the cam was set to 15 sec and there are a bunch of coons an possums under a feeder eating corn, the next pic there is a coyote back in the shadows, then next he's closer, then he's right there on them . The next pic they are all gone. I wondered how that turned out.
 
My avatar is from an old home-brew Owl 35mm/Radio Shack PIR in a Pelican case. I set up on a deer trail over a ditch - - - and actually got what I was looking for. I call it Banzai Buck.
