Could also be that me and this bow just dont see eye to eye,I dont plan on using in next season I am either going to get my bow out of the basement and have it restrung or I am going to buy a bear truth 2,my bow in the basement I have shot small birds out of bushes with it so it cant be I am a bad shot,I know there is no excuse for the buck I missed yesterday but numerous other shots in the 25-30 yard range I have been missing like crazy and those are the shots I practice most when target shooting.
