Zarr I hate to say this, but it sounds like you may have had a case of buck fever, I got it on a doe last year, it was the first deer I had ever shot at with a bow and I though I had everything right, the second I released I knew I missed my anchor point and sailed it over her back.

I do have one question, were you shooting fixed blades? If you were have you tuned your bow to them, fixed blades do fly differently than field points.
