Dont get all discouraged just cause you missed.
EVERYBODY has missed a deer and will again.
Heck one year I had a super nice buck underneath me within 10 yards. Chip shot so I thought . I was confident that I had hit him. It was about dark when I got down so I just decided to get out of there and get something to eat and come back after a while with a buddy and lights. I was pumped up. Telling my buddy how nice he was and i was sure it was a good hit.
Went back in to find him and couldnt find any blood. I searched and searched for blood and was getting frantic . My buddy was back at the tree I was in just laughing the whole time. I asked him what was so funny. He held up my arrow he had found-clean as could be-just some dirt on the broadhead. I had cleanly missed the deer. Felt like a fool but it was a good laugh and now my buddy has a good story to tell on me.
