In the 7 years that I have been bow hunting, I've gotten 1 buck and 1 doe. Patience and practice, practice, practice. Sounds like you need to learn how to judge distance. This year I startedshooting a practice arrow or 2 from my stand everytime I go out. Look at a different spot,judge the distance and shoot. I missed 4 bucks in one weekend last year from a stand I never hunted before and I never hunted so high up a tree. Because I didn't have a good feel for distance, I screwed up. We all learn lessons the hard way!
