I had my 1st shot with the longbow tonight. I was on the ground & had Doe @ 15-16 yds, and she ducked me clean. I was real happy that my shot flew true and went where I intended, she was just a bit quicker than my arrow. I believe she caught me drawing, but I don't know for sure as I was focused on her rib cage. She didn't spook real bad, hung around at 30 yds for 5-10 minutes wondering what happened. Then she blew and left.
