You're get another chance! I'm not going to tell you how many deer I missed my first season with traditional gear! Good Luck!

Ya know, when I was young and just starting to bow hunt, every hunter with any amount of success always would say a few things in common.  Things like, don't draw attention to yourself, don't draw your bow when you can see their eyes and don't shoot when they are looking at you.  Nowadays, all those things are standard procedure in the hunting video's.   I think you probably did things just about right depending on how fast she was going.  Lots of guys prefer to shoot at a walking deer over a standing deer and claim they are less likely to duck the string.

Sounds like you had a blast and I bet you have it on "video" in the old hair covered computer to replay for the rest of your life.

I've come to believe that the keys to shooting well for me are good form, trusting the bow to do all the work, and having the confidence in the bow and myself to remain motionless and relaxed at release until the arrow hits the mark.

Hey Dave, where do I get one of those hair covered models? Sounds fancy. Mine seems to have very quickly lost that feature    :biglaugh:

Dang T.J.,

I've got more hair than I know what to do with.  Not only on my head and face, it's starting to come out of my ears!  The older I get, the hairier I get.
