Well, I've only taken three shots at game with my bow. I've practiced a ton on targets. All three of the shots have hit the target, but only one has done the job. I'm pretty sure it was my nervs taking over on the first two shots and that why I had some really bad hits. When I'm practicing, my groups are with in about a 50 cent piece and I can nail the vitals almost every time. When I got my first kill this year with my bow, I don't remember the shot that well. It seemed like it happened really fast. I didn't get the chance to get nervous, becasue he came out of no where, walked right in on me. I drew as soon as he walked behind a tree and he stopped on his own right in my only shooting lane. The actuall shot was a blur, all I remember is hearing my hit and seeing him jump. I watched him run about 30 yards and start to stumble a little, he was down. I watched him drop. I wasn't shaking too bad, but boy was I happy. I hadn't taken the shot but about a minute ago and now I was on the phone calling my wife, brothers, and all my hunting buddies telling them I got one. I wasn't even real sure how big he was, all I knew was he was a buck. I thought it was a six point, but when I finally calmed down and climbed out of my stand I walked over to where he was down. It ended up being an 11 point and dressed out at 120lbs. Not huge, but a great first buck. I still can't remember anything during the shot everything was just a real blur.
