well i was hunting yesterday, the second day of the season, and i finally got an opportunity. it was the first time i ever drew on a deer. it was the perfect set up and i punched the trigger. it was about a 28 yard shot and i had it lined up perfectly. i was calm and collected until i looked at the spike through my peep sight. then i got excited. as soon as i released i knew i missed. its alright though, i have the rest of the season to hunt. i guess i'll just have try again next weekend.

It happens, heres a tip, when you have the pin settled, release, dont think about it, dont look at the head, just exhale and release.

It happens to the best of us. Missing all together is better than shooting it in the gut though.

yeah that was my thought on the matter.

dont punch the release this could cause you to move your bow when u have it lined up softly squeeze the release...

Hey dont get yourself down, i remember the first time i drew back and shot at a deer i forgot to look threw my peep sight[&:], the best way to learn is from your mistakes, you'll have many more chances im sure.

Hunter,
If you only knew how much I worry about that happening to me. Hang in there. You'll get him.

Just keep telling yourself ,Its just like shooting my target and keep repeating it untill you squeeze. GOOD LUCK!!!

Been there and done that. It will happen for you. If bowhunting was easy, folks would quickly get bored and go back to surfing porn.

Nothing like experience when it comes to putting down game. Don't get depressed, Murphy attacks us all from time to time. Even us Ol' Farts
