Man I feel your pain, what should have been my first bowkill last year, never happened due to a stupid limb with dry leaves, the buck came in form exactly the opposite direction I expected, he was about 15-18 yards broadside and I came to full draw and just as I was bringing the pin onto his shoulder I hit this limb with my riser!!! The buck froze and stared right at me, I froze, after an eternity he started feeding again, I let down, took half a step back from the limb, he took 2 steps further, now he was 13-16 yards out now broadside, I came to full draw and the exact same thing happened again only this time he winded me and was gone!!!
I know your pain, hang in there, hopefully you will get another chance.
