RE: A deer can duck an....arrow??!!
Straight,
Sometimes takes a while to get a point across, but I think were getting closer, maybe! In refference to the 3" miss-that's assuming the arrow would hit directly where you were aiming. Considering all the variables, anxiety, elevation, unseen branch, individual skill level, many of us might very well need to count on those 3 inches. That is why I say 3 inches is still a miss, it's not good enough when you figure in the complexity of making the shot itself.
There are some that 3 inches wouldn't really matter, but to many, it would make all the difference in the world considering the other additions to a bad shot.
