This year
2/2compund
0/1 longbow, the doe ducked
2/3handgun (all shots at the same deer though) 1st shot knocked her down, she got up & ran (miss as she ran) she stopped and the 3rd shot put her down for good.
1/1 shotgun
all shots were does.
I did go thru an 11 year period with 26 consecutive bowkills without missing/losing a deer.

My kills number in the3 digits over the span of my bowhunting career. Have I missed some you bet, have I hit some and not found them? Unfortunately, yes. Most of my mishaps occurred in the 1st few years I Bowhunted. Murphy didn't just visit me, he stayed in my pack. I still have a visit from him once in a while, but it seems to happen farther, and farther apart. Batting 1000 is something I doubt can be done, but your average will improve as your experience grows. You get less rattled on game, shot selection becomes much better, and youbecome more skilled attracking andanimal recovery.
Shooting practice is good and we all should practice as much as possible, but no amount of practice can exactly simulate taking a live animal. Therefore Bowhunting and killing is the best teacher and average improver there is

a brain shot will kill her right then and a lung shot could take 15-30 seconds of her squirming around in pain
