I was shooting a Foot and Half LOW!! Sights must have got bumped the other night when I was lowering my bow, I kept hitting a branch and couldnt get it passed.. I would have been sick if the BIG ONE came in and I shot a Foot and Half Low..

Check your equipment guys.. Never know...

I shot the day before yesterday..all still good. but I need to shoot again since I got tangled in that damn briar jungle last night. I figured I'd take a short cut out. My sense of direction was dead on..I just didn't realize there was 300 yards of jaggers between point "A" and "B" ouch with a fading flashlight to boot!

When you have to put your treestand on the front of you for a brush-guard, ya know you made a poor exit choice!

Glad you shot it!

Good suggestion. I know so many guys who stop shooting after the season starts.

Big mistake and your example is just one reason why.

Also make sure that your screws that hold your sight are tight. If you shoot for a while, vibration could cause the screws to back out a shade.. The more you shoot without knowning this the more they will back out and you won't know it until you blow it on a 200" brute..

I literally stopped what I was doing, to do this. A great reminder, especially for someone who shoots often! My gripneeded a 3/4 turn.

Kind of nice when my Spot Hogg does not budge...[:-]

I always shoot atleast one arrow at my house before I head out in the morning or evening.
