How far was the shot ? Just about the time you anticipate a deer jumping the string and aim low to compensate, the deer won't drop and you will shoot under it. Been there , done that ! What to do is a gamble. I now aim at the kill zone and hope for the best . I was always under the impression that 20 yds and under - no jump. Beyond 20 yards , they will jump the string. The main problem is - the deer don't know the rule . [8D]
