Default RE: How many deer have you missed with bow?

After 13 years of hunting I have only missed 3 times. The kicker is they were all at the same deer the same evening. It was a decent little 5pt which I missed at 35yds, 20yds and12yds. Shot over him all three times. I was quite disappointed to say the least especially because he didnt know I was there and kept coming back. Turned out my proshop gave me the wrong practice tips 125 gr instead of 100 so my broadheads were a tad lighter therefore shooting higher and being up in the tree so high I had to aim higher causing my shot to go over his back. Lesson learned----practice with my broadheads!!!! That was during my 3rd year of hunting with the bow, inexperience!!!! Haven' t missed yet fortunately although I wish I would have one time. The nicest buck I shot at was never found----can we say heart broke!!!! Reclaimed my confidence on 2 does later that year.
