Don't feel bad I missed a big doe at 10 ft (first time in a ground blid , she suprized me she was so close) I forgot to pick a spot and up right over her back spent the next day hunting for the arrow so my friends tracyor wouldn't get a flat

Shot over a doe last year at 8 yards with a selfbow and stone head. Couldn't have had a better opportunity. I was so excited that I was getting ready to tag my first primitive kill and I didn't pick a deer let alone a spot.

 Keep after it, You'll score.

I'm in the same boat.  

I saw three Saturday.  Thought I was gonna stock the freezer...  

Thought too soon.

I clean shot under her!

Hopefully I'll be more prepared for the next encounter!

That's the good thing about the guys on here most of us are honest about our failures/missed opportunities.....LOL

last shot with my selfbow I shot over a 6-pointers back at about 20 feet, but I honestly think it was these barrel tapered silver wood  arrows i was using that always hit high on the 1st couple shots until I adjusted,,, should of known better for hunting and the 1st shot being high!

last shot with a longbow which was years ago I called in a 9-pointer running in to 4 feet away from my tree,, I could not believe how well they pin point sound it was just awesome!!!!! but I waited till it got about 8 feet away and shot straight down with a morrison dakota which I thought was a loud bow to begin with,,,, anyway I picked a spot about 2" under the arm pit figuring the deer would drop into the arrow.

well I shot and put the arrow about an inch under his arm pit because he never dropped! and then when the arrow hit the ground the buck snapped it with its hoof..... so i sold the bow on here that evening and hunted with mostly recurves and selfbows since,,,, Gawd I hated that bow ha ha ha..
