    Even the best around miss, just makes ya concentrate more plus helps you become a better hunter I think.

    at least it was a clean miss and not a wounding shot.

    no harm no foul and it will push you to practice more. don't let it get to you tho. my friend ryan is about the best bowhunter i know. he's taken over 30 animals with his bow and he never missed. not once. until this year. he missed a 8pt and he let it go to his head and screw with his confidence. since that day, he's missed 3 more deer and he let himself ruin his own season. that being said, keep your chin up and get back in the stand!

    I only used one arrow this year....it worked.

    I definitely feel like I didn't hunt enough.
