In 74 I missed my first shot at a deer from 5 yards, on the ground. She was standing behind a boulder with her vitals exposed, I hit the boulder. I followed this bad shot with by sticking a razorhead in a tree about 1" from a squirrels head at 50yds.
When I came back to trad in 89, I killed the first 2 deer I shot at and missed the next 11. I then got interested in 3D shoots which train you to pick a spot.
If I draw on a deer now it is going to the freezer. I pick my shots carefully and let everything walk that is further away than 20yds or isn't either broadside or slightly quartering away. I also pass on a deer looking at me, also a very low percentage shot.
