Let' s see, i lost count I' ve been bowhunting about 16 years and i' ll have to say the first two years was nothing more than learning seasons but i feel i' m a much better hunter because of it. I shot over deer, under deer, behind deer, and even in front of deer. I' ve been at full draw and my arrow fall off the rest, or draw when a walking deer went behind a tree and have to let up because he never walked out like i thought he would, i think i could go on and on. I can say however that i' ve never wounded a deer and lost it so i' m thankful for that. My misses were always clean ones. Oh yeah, i' ve been busted quite a few times as well. After the first couple of years and my first bow kill i would say i became pretty consistent and have been every since. I feel confident now when i' m bowhunting but i learned to take nothing for granted because anything can happen. I believe in Practice, Practice, Practice!
