Cyclone,
My shot went about a foot to the left. I was still hunting and opened my jacket so I wouldn't sweat. The string hit my jacket zipper any torqued the bow left. Arrow flight was otherwise perfect and at the lower lung height of the deer.

The doe was facing me with her head down - the arrow went by her head. She busted me when I reloaded.

I'm 43 yrs old and started this bowhunting thing when I was 15. I started out using a recurve which are pretty loud compared to today's compounds. Also, I've always hunted from the ground which should spook a deer more easily than from a tree. I've read about string jumping deer including something about 90% of does and 50% of bucks do it. The films I've seen also show the deer "duck". I just haven't seen it in my woods yet.

BobCo - This may not be 100% accurate but I always refer to small deer with spots as fawns and small deer without spots as yearlings. They could be 6 month-lings for all I know.
