I wouldnt get to down on yourself. I personaly have learned way more when I made a bad shot than I ever have when the shot was succsessful. When you make a bad shot you beat yourself up over it for a long time and that is what makes you make the right shot when the time comes. It has amazed me in the past when I made a shot and didnt notice a branch that was right in front of me and then after the miss you look at the shot you took and ask yuourself how could I of been so stupid. I guess that is one of the things that makes bowhunting so awsume.
