How many times have you missed before connecting on your first bow kill?
Been a hunter for over 20 years, but just took up bow hunting last year. Missed a doe last year and just missed one tonight. Actually I drew blood tonight but just a scratch. Missed her the first shot and She gave me a second shot on her, but the arrow scraped low and grazed her. Not even a drop of blood on the arrow, only a few drops on the bean leaves.
I know why I missed the first shot, I couldn't get at full draw unless I leaned forward because my elbow hit the tree. I believe this changed my "posture" so to speak and I couldn't get in my comfortable anchor point. Second shot, she was already "edgy" and I think she flinched or jump when the bow shot, regardless the arrow flew low. Frustrating that's for sure. I guess the answer is practice, practice, practice.
