Default RE: Your first shot at a deer with bow....hit/miss?

It was 1991, I was dozing off in my stand my release was in my pocket. lol

I woke to see what I thought at the time was a dog coming through the woods. It was a young buck a fork horn to be exact. I got my release nocked and went to draw back. My legs almost gave out and started shaking real bad. Then the arrow fell off my rest and started clanking against the riser. clank, clank, clank the deer stopped and looked right at me. Was probably thinking what is this guy doing. Then the deer bolted off and I released while he was on the run. Shot 6 feet over him thank god. I was really shaken up over the whole thing. Was not sure if I was going to cut it at as a hunter. Glad I stuck it out.
