RE: Was this a bad shot?
I have done it!!! Am I a moron I don't think so. I was 13 and it was the second deer I shot at. I never found it. A nice 8 point buck to. My Dad kicked my butt and wouldn't let me bow hunt for the rest of the season. and he made me look for that deer every day he went hunting. FYI I never took a shot like that again and after 40 + kills under my belt from deer to moose thats the only animal I ever lost. Im in my 40's now and I would never even think about a shot like that.
