Interesting topic... I've hunted 4 years shot 18 ..10 bucks/8 does . I've lost 4 of those 1 shldr hit and 3 high behind shldr just below spine no blood trails did everything I could do to find all of them .Most of the misses I had early and all were trying to shoot beyond my range(luckily I never hit any). I have friends that don't shoot extremely well at targets , but consistly make great shots hunting and other friends that are completely the opposite ! Good luck with your hunting!
