Default RE: How many " oops" shots?

I was hunting on a very windy morning during the rut two years ago. A doe came by with a buck hot on her tail. I grabbed my bow off of the hook and proceeded to draw on the buck that was dirctly downwind from me. The wind had bounced my bow around and loosened the nock from the string. When I drew the arrow fell off the string and the broadhead was resting on my hand. I very carefully let the bow down and put the arrow back on the string. By this time both deer had moved off to my left and were crosswind to me at 30 yards. The wind was blowing so hard that I aimed 8 inches left of where I wanted to hit and let it go. The wind pushed that arrow 10 inches right and made a near perfect shot out of my mess. That buck didn' t make it 25 yards before he went down.
