I think what you might be doing is exactly the same thing i did my first year.I think you might be getting excited andwhen you get to full draw and before you can get the pin settled you squeeze the trigger on hair.You have to pick a spot then squeeze the trigger not punch it.I lost three deer my first season byshooting at hair.I am not saying that is what you are doing but it's worth thinking about.DON'T GIVE UP..Good hunting..
