Im leading the pack. Missed 5 times in 17 seasons.

1) First buck I ever saw in the woods. Use to shoot competition archery and could group arrows at 50 yards. Missed the buck by a mile at 35. Learned that it's a whole new ball game, shooting at a live animal, when you have buck fever and wearing all the clothes you own.

2) Second buck I saw I missed at 15 yards. I think I was 12 or 13. Didn't realize that broadheads shot different then field points. Another lesson learned.

3) See miss one. Took another long shot at a buck. This time i had practiced with my hunting gear. Same result. Never took another long shot since.

4) Got the shakes on a doe on the last day of season. Double clutched the shot and missed at 20 yards.

5) Hopefully my last miss. Hit my stand with the bottom limb. Arrow just died in mid air and went right under a buck.
