What a dumb thread! Why would you make me re-live this stuff? Actually it' s good to read that the guys shooting the sights miss sometimes also. I was on a 9 yr. streak until 10/8/03 when I flat out missed a doe at 7 yds. with my longbow. I recovered in time to miss a doe at 17yds. two weeks later. Finally the week of the 27th I dropped an 8 pt. and a doe within two days of each other and watched them both drop. I find missing sorts makes a person realize that you can let up on your practicing and concentration.
