I missed my first archery deer on Friday night, I'm pissed should not have taken the shot but it would have been an easy one if I hadnt spooked her.

How can you be mad at missing a shot that you shouldn't have taken? You should be mad for taking the shot.

Learn from it, embrace it. We all miss but you need to laugh about it. Your first will come, you will miss again. It's all part of bowhunting.

I've been bow hunting for 4yrs. and the first time I shot at a doe I missed but my buddy smoked her. I told him the next deer I see I will not miss well, a week later I got A shot on another doe smacked her right in the bread basket ran 40 yards and crashes. It took me 4yrs. but I finally got one. I had the biggest buck in my life slip in behand me right after dark on friday at 15 yards but, couldn't get the shot because it was dark. Now that is when it really sucks!!
