RE: What's your batting average?
By your rules, I am 3 for 5. I shot a pronghorn buck, spined a whitetail doe with a follow up shot, and shot a whitetail buck. The 5th arrow wasn't so much user error as a clean miss...I hada deflection on a small 8 point back in early November off of an unseen twig...arrow shot off and missed by 3+ feet.
By number ofanimals arrows released on vs number of animals down, I am 3 for 4. Still haven't wounded one though, and like you am striving to never have to experience that.
