Default OK....Who's NEVER missed?

Whiffed...whatever you wanna call it.

We'll confine this to bowhunting....and I wanna know (if you have never missed) how many opportunities to shoot at a live animal you've had (example...."I've never missed....but I've only shot one"...while commendable...is understandable. "I've never missed.....and I've killed 30" is beyond comprehension, to me).

Should be interesting......

For clarification.....my arrow seems to ALWAYS hit "something". I'm talking about your intended target.

I have shot well over 40 animals with my bow and missed twice one of which was a complete string jump earlier this year. The other I was aiming at a differant deer I guess cuz the arrow went no where near the one I shot at.

One clean miss (my recurve) and one wound (compound, hit a bear In the foot) In 24 years of bow hunting. I've missed 4 other deer that we were doing track jobs on (wounded deer). All of these shots were 30 to 60 yards and the deer were running wide open. In the end we got all 4 of these deer, just not from my arrow.[8D]

I can't think of how many deer I've taken with a bow...but can honestly say the only deer I missed was the first one I shot at. Right over her back at less than 20 yards.... [>:]


*Edit- The next week I shot my first deer with a bow....drilled her perfectly at nearly 40 yards. lol
