There is no excuse for poor shots on game.
Just out of curiosity - how many animals have you taken with your bow? And have you ever made a poor shot or lost an animal?
Three, and yes.
I made a bad shot on the first deer I took and I lost a great buck last season.
Both shots could have been prevented had I taken more time.
The majority of poor shots are made by hunters not taking their time, rushing the shot, or taking shots that aren't 100% ethical. Granted, accidents do happen, an unseen branch in a shooting lane for instance, can throw a shot off. However, the majority of poor shots can be prevented.
