Today was opening day. So I did something I've never done before. I went goose hunting. Two flew over and went 100 yards away in green field, 40 minutes later a solo cupped and landed in the water, 10 yards from my hide in the cattails. I slowly drew my recurve, and totally shanked the shot. Missed about two inches in front of his breast. I don't think I anchored. I think it's the first opening day shot I've ever taken, and definitely the first bow shot I've ever taken at a goose.
