RE: how many times
Hoythunter! Missing is just as much of a hunting experience as making the perfect shot. I believe I've missed 2 nice bucks before I finally took a buck. This year was my first time drawing on a bull moose and when I released the arrow I saw it clip a branch. The feeling I got in my stomach was hollow. I know one thing though, I'll never quit until I can't draw the bow back anymore!
