My first miss was the same,low and to the front. I figured out what I did after the excitement passed. I hit my heavy jacket the left sleeve which caused my bow to shift left,also I failed to bend at the waist. It should have been an easy shot but I also rushed it a bit. The Doe was 15 to 18 yards or so out from my tree and gave me a perfect broadside shot in a clear lane of fire. I stood there for a few moments in shock that I missed so bad with such a easy set up. I tried to nock another arrow but the Doe trotted off before I could get a second shot.
