I only shoot 65 pounds which I can easliy draw and hold. The problem was the buck was taking a very round about way to the doe decoy and in retrospect I drew way too soon. I swayed just a bit and the movement got him to look up briefly, I used my leg to brace myself against the stand and he seemed o.k. with me then. He went back to looking over the decoy. My arms are now burning and I realize I am way beyond any graceful let down. I figured the 2nd movement would be the end of it. I had no expectations of getting another arrow on my string, I just wanted to avoid him pegging me in the tree. I was hoping for some responses of similiar experiences, i.e. "I drew on a deer and he saw me let down but I saw the buck a few days later" or "I drew on a deer and had to let down and that was the last time I saw the deer". I have a lot of respect for other hunters experiences and the fact that most are suggesting to let down is telling me that was probably the smart thing to do.
