I was helping a guy at work with his bow this year who wanted to try bowhunting for the first time. I walked him through the entire process and practiced with him everyday. When season opened, I neglected to verify my broadheads from treestand height and had the same result as you, missed at 15 yards - nice 8 point. I took the lesson in stride (upset at first) went home and didn't hunt again until final adjustments were made, and downed a doe the very next time in the woods.

Yr's ago, I miss'ed a buck because I picked the wrong pin. I've since gone to one pin and practice from ground and ladder stand out to 35 yrd's.

Shoot from a tree and see where you hit, that is the only way you can know.

Sorry bout that but get right back on that horse and try a few practice arrows when you go to get down after a hunt and that will really help you know where to aim. One more thing is addictable a word. ROFLMAO I've never heard it if it is.
