First Shot Taken in the woods.
Well i got to my stand late tonight and as i was climbing up i seen a fox. I race to the stand and pull my bow up while i keep making noises to keep it in my lane. I nock an arrow with a practice tip and let it fly. I learned that It is hard to guess distances. I put it right behind it it leg and low. Clean miss thank god If i had a better bow my 20 yard pin would be good at 25 yards or mabey close to 30 yards.

Judging distance is one of the hardest things to do. I like to practice judging distance every time I practice. A fox is a tough target. You will get it next time.

Hey Jim, don't use a field tip for a fox, that is not good. I'm glad you missed it too.....remember small game heads for small game and birds, broadheads for everything else.
