I got the first one I shot at, was a slam dunk 15 yard on the ground shot. I cant say I'v never lost one or blew a shot but its not real common. If I cant make a good shot I dont shoot, theres enough to go wrong without me adding to it. That said I started hunting in general late in life, 27 with a gun & 35 I think for bowhunting. Might make a difference I dunno.
