Why did you not mention that in your first TWO posts? Well instead of going to the range I would suggest the following link it helped me: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_24255_400014010_400000000_400014000_400-14-10

I'll give you credit on a bow miss. I've missed a quite a few with a bow. Field hunting with a bow is hard work. But the other advice I still send your way. Go track that deer then make a plan while your out there. Find a better set up.

You need to go back to the spot where you saw it beaded down and look for a blood trail. You didn't mention this at all in your post. When I say look for a blood trail I mean any ounce of blood means you need to track that deer.
A friendly addition to bigpapa's excellent remarks: Even not finding blood doesn't mean you should quit--they may not bleed much. The bleeding may be mostly internal. Follow the deer in the direction it ran. If there's no blood, clipped hair, or other evidence of a hit, search everywhere you can--especially heavy cover nearby. I've found them by simply going in the path of least resistance from the point I last saw them--they tend to end up downhill in my experience. Be alert and be ready to shoot in case it's not expired. It may jump up and you need to be ready to finish it off.

A pair of binoculars is useful. keep scanning the cover around you, whether with binocs or without.

You need to find every arrow you shot and then you will be able to tell if they were misses or hits. Sounds like a regular old mash drinkin pig poking fargen mess of an outing!!

Don't be down about a miss, but I have to agree with most on here. It sounds like you probably didn't miss. I would hunt her down. With three of you, you should be able to cover a lot of territory in a short time. Focus on the last spot you saw here. Check it out thoroughly and then work from there.
