RE: First time to draw on a deer and i miss....
Yep, it's happened to me as well, on more than one occasion. Imagine having missed a couple P&Y's in previous years, and you have a 140-150 class 12 pointer walk within' 6 yards of your stand. You're not excited, or anxious, you're PO'd because you know you're not letting this one get away like the others. You draw.....(What a first bow kill huh?) then you release the arrow and drop the bow so quick to see where you hit him, that the arrow flies just south of the kill zone. That wasme 2 years ago. You'll get many more chances, and you'll get'em, just stay cool and keep after them.
