Man thats got to hurt! I've only shot my recurve at animals twice, feral hogs both times. results? 2 misses and they both made me want to pull my hair out!

What hair????????????

Never count anything on the wall till it's on the wall

Sorry about the miss but hey thats why it's called hunting

It's those "gimme" shots that usually bite me in the rear at tournaments--shots a blind man could make in a cave at midnight. It's like you would have to work real hard to miss, but it happens.

On the bright side, at least you saw a 10 point!

Thats why we are traditional bow hunters!! Anything can happen but boy is it fun and exciting!

I feel your pain!!!!!!!! At the start of my season after I took my first longbow doe, well first archery deer ever, I seen this huge buck I guessed him at 160"+ and I decided to hunt him only. Well I hunted hime hard and when I finally got my chance I missed him at maybe 10yards or so. Just over his back, I cried and never seen him again. It will probably happen again.

Ouch!!!!!! Thats a biggy!

Your telling me, the first time I seen him I almost crapped my undies. I have only seen a buck this big in real life(not on TV) one other timeand my buddy took him 10 years aago with a .308. I see 130"-150" class bucks here all the time(man I love living inSaskatchewan, Canada), but 160"+ is an amazing site and to have him a 10yards and miss was a heartbreaker and yet one of the reasons I keep going back out there.
