Probably about 5 yards or so for me too.
I struggle with those close, severe angle shots from a treestand[:o]

6 yards from base of tree, i have chocked on two p&y class deer. Both were similar instances. They were on a mission, i drew, rushed it and forgot to try and stop both of them. Belly hair on both[:o]

The close ones I don't have a problem with it's the quick shots at longer distances that give me trouble. My closest miss was at 40 yards on about a 180" non typical mule deer in velvet. Shot about an inch over his back.

He poped up over a little knole about 7 yards away, spooked and stoped broadside at 40 yards and gave me about 2 or 3 seconds to make a shot andI picked the wrong pin. Dead center left and right butright over his back.[:@]Live and learn. [&:]

I hate to admit this. I missed a doe and a buck at 12 yards.
I first missed the doe and shot over her back. I forgot to bend at the waist and shot her for 18 yards. She never heard the arrow and just walked off.
A 6 point was following her and stood in the exact same spot a minute later. Being the egotist I am at times, and thinking it could not have been me that caused the earlier miss. I made the exact same shot at the young buck.
Right over his back.

Big Doe about 12 yards!!!!!!

Prolly about 6 yards. Shot over her back. She was so close that I made the mistake of not looking through the peep and at the pin. It had to be a quick shot because she saw me move. Oh well lesson learned for next time.

My first shot ever with a bow at a deer was real nice buck not 3 yds from my tree. Came right down beside(under) him.

I was hunting in a pit blind I had dug in the middle of a switchgrass field. Pretty much the only thing above the ground was my waist up. I had a doe come in about about 3 yards and I blew it, shot right over her back. Thats pretty bad when they are about in grabbing distance and you still miss. Oh well it was deffinetly memorable.

8 yards on a doe. First arrow I ever released at a deer. Shot about 3 feet over her back.
