I think I see what you're asking Jeff (my name's Steve, btw).

As far as archery and shooting an arrow, a wounded-shot is 'better' than a clean miss as far as being close to your intended point of impact. But as far as hunting is concerned, a clean miss is much better than a wounding hit.

It depends on how you're looking at it.

And I can't help but think you're referring to the other night when you made that not-so-perfect-shot on that HUGE BEAST of a buck you ended up with (big congrats on that one too). If that's where this is coming from, you don't have any explaining or rationalizing to do about it. You know what happened and I'd bet my bow it doesn't happen again.


If I'm way off, then just please excuse me and ignore all this.
