RE: Got my miss out of the way.
At least you missed him clean. 30 yards is a long shot on a deer with a bow. The reason I say that is because the arrow really starts to drop fast beyond 30 yards. If you keep your shots under 25 yards, precise yardage estimation isn't critical. At 30 and beyond, yardage estimation really becomes important, and the margin for error decreases quickly.
Good luck the rest of the year.
