if i miss an animal when it happens it is usaully by a few inches or less like this year i missed a huge 9-point wit split brow tines at 10yrds by about an inch literally an inch

I do not mean this to sound too critical, but if you missed him completely, you missed by a whole lot more than an inch. Don't feel bad though, I have missed animals by feet! No lie. I used to get target panic really bad. I would jerk the trigger and immediately look for the arrow instead of following through. That habit cost me god knows how many animals.
Oh well, we can't all be perfect.
