Nothing huge but the first two deer that i shot arrows at (both smallish bucks) I hit but never recovered. The first shot i thought i put right on the money, the second one I made a bad shot and hit him back farther then I wanted. I nearly hung the bow up and stopped going, it is a terrible feeling to hit one and not find it. I started to doubt my equipment, and worst of all I started to doubt myself. Took me a couple more years before I finally my first one two years ago. It was a little button buck but he gave me a perfect standing broadside shot and I smoked him with a complete pass through and he dropped within 30 yards. Some might roll their eyes at shooting a button buck but I was real proud to finally have it all come together. In a way those earlier bucks were good for me, as much as it made me sick at the time it has made me a better bow hunter. I am extremely picky about my shots now and I shoot year round.
