Sure, I' ll scold you... yada yada yada..... First off, on Saturday night at 6:55 when you shot you were past the legal shooting hours. Plus, when it' s that late, no matter what, you can not get the correct sight picture. It is extremely difficult to center your sights as you do in daylight. I know if I shoot in really bad light I have a tendancy to group left quite a bit.

In closing, if it isn' t legal shooting light, and/OR you can' t see your pins to make a decent shot... you shouldn' t be shooting at all. There, you feel better.[:-] P.S. Sounds like some major muscle damage to me. Probably a leg or tenderloin.[:' (] You screwed up and are paying the consequences. The old Risk/Reward deal just bit you bad.
He was within legal shooting hours. Ohio' s archery season is 1/2 hour before sunrise to 1/2 hour after sunset. The sunset occured at 6:42pm on Saturday according to the Weather Channel.

Still unfortunate that you lost the deer though, Jim.
