RE: That sick feeling...
Here's another one, just great news.[:'(]
What the hell is being taught?
The doe that was 30 yards wasfacing straight at me and she ducked and spun at the shot. The arrow hit her high in the shoulder blew through the spine and stoped just under the hide infront of the offside ham. Now needless to say I was impressed with the penetration and the G5 striker only had a couple of nicks on the blades other than that it looked brand new. Not too shabby for going through the spine.

If any thing comes to mind,it would be Quit shooting past twenty yards.

However, that's a call for the individual to make. Of the 23 deer I've taken with my bow, 7 of those have been inside of 20 yards. If I wasn't capable or confident of the shot, I wouldn't have released the arrow.

Dustin.
Sorry to hear about the buck but man thats why it is called hunting and not killing.
To all those that have not lost an animal all I can say is your turn is coming.
I have lost a few over the last 46 years and it is not easy to come to terms with.

RE: That sick feeling...
Hunting in the mid west is differant than here but the consistant failure rate on long shots is gettin old.
Thirty plus is sounding more like poke and hope than shot placement.
I'm saying close it up and be sure.
