Years ago, I had decided to make the switch from face paint to a head net because I was tired of trying to get face paint off. There weren't a lot of options for headnets back then, so I went down to the Army surplus store and got one of those camo bug headnets. I got home and cut a couple of eye holes in it and thought "Sweet" no more paint. I went out the next morning and shortly after sunrise had 3 bucks walking towards me. Of corase the last one was the biggest one. He stepped behind a tree, I drew my bow, only to discover I couldn't see my pins! What in the world! I realized that the piece of netting I had left between the eye holes was blocking my line of sight at full draw, D**n! I took an estimated judgement shot and missed, no idea were that arrow ended up. I quickly pulled my knife out and proceded to cut the strip out, kicking myself in the process. At that time in my life, it would have my best buck ever. Needless to say I learned a lot that morning, mostly to always practice, wearing what you will when hunting.
