Any advice would be great. Maybe I should just stop hunting.
First off, after more years of shooting bow competitions than I can remember, I missed a deer at 16 yards, then again at 25 yards only to kill him at 41 yards.

Misses happen, to everyone sooner or later so don't let that keep you out of the woods. Embrace it, learn from it and remember it always. It will take you to the next level. Keep practicing and keep on at it. Good luck to you.
