Failure as a hunter? no. I've been close enough to deer to kill on 5 or 6 occasions this year alone. Failure as an archer? yes. For not knowing enough about my equipment to realize I was hunting with junk. So live and learn. This next year will be spent learning all the nuaineces of the modern compound bow. And how to set them up and tune them. Then next season, IT'S ON!

KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE. OR WE MAY NOT GET TO KEEP IT AT ALL.
