RE: bad shot
well i know some one who has had this happen to them befor my dad last year he shot at a nice 8 pointer with his bow and he was a little closer than he thought and he hit him high and forward we looked for him for 3 hours and even went home to get one of ouf old deer hounds to track him with. all we found was one speck of blood and a broken arrow shaft. he was killed be a gun hunter later in the season (about 5 weks later) the guy pulled the rest of the arrow out of him and gave it to us so we knew it was the same deer. he scored in the low 140's
