This past December, Imissed good 6pt by a good foot in front of him. I had ranged him at 35 yards eating acorns. The arrow looked good at release but veered left for some reason. I was second guessing my shooting skills and disgusted with myself so decided to see if the problem was me. The next day I shot a 5 arrow group of about 2 inches at 35 yards cold. My sights and bow seemed to be fine so I just supposed that I screwed up in my form or something. Well, I looked for that arrow for an hour that night and some since but could never find it. Well, I walked back behind the house this afternoon with my Benjamin pellet riflewith the intentions ofbagging a squirrel for supper. Sure enough, I saw one cutting on a hickory nut and quickly dispatched him (quartering away shot went through the left ham , traversed the guts, through the heart and lodgedunder the skin on the right shoulder...not bad penetration for a .22 cal dome pellet...dropped him right out of the tree). Anywho, as I walked to where he fell, I saw a small bit of white sticking out about an inch from the leaves. It wasmy arrow fletching. As I retrieved the arrow from the ground, I noticed it was minus the nock. I looked to where my stand was and retraced my shot and found the white nock on top of the leaves 10 yards from the stand. I guess mystery solved. Moral of the story for me:always check your equipment before hunting. I guess live and learn...
