Don't give up, keep practicing and show better judgement. Meantime go get a crossbow and harvest a deer. If you are practicing as much as you are then there's probably something wrong with the bow or set up (I hope it isn't buck fever!).
Much of that does not exist on a good crossbow if you do what you are supposed to do. Ohio has tons of crossbow hunters and ain't nothing wrong with it either.
Take your bow and arrows to a good proshop to see what is wrong or join a club and get help.
If you have questions about Xbows go to the crossbow forum, they are great people.
