Interesting topic... I've hunted 4 years shot 18 ..10 bucks/8 does . I've lost 4 of those 1 shldr hit and 3 high behind shldr just below spine no blood trails did everything I could do to find all of them .Most of the misses I had early and all were trying to shoot beyond my range(luckily I never hit any). I have friends that don't shoot extremely well at targets , but consistly make great shots hunting and other friends that are completely the opposite ! Good luck with your hunting!

Ive killed over (30) deer in the past 21 years. Completely missed twice that many (most in my first few years of bowhunting). Non lethal wounded 2 (Saw both deer later in the seasons. Mortally wounded but never found 2, (actually one of them I found the next day when the coyotes dragged her out of the bushes.
