Forgot the air is thinner at this altitude and didn't compensate for lack of drag.

Mountain biker got in the way.

I had gas.
Elk had gas.

Forgot to turn the coffee pot off at the wrong moment.

Freak lightning bolt scared me.

Every time my arrow misses, it's because of the big jerk on the bowstring.

Someone back in camp said my name just as I drew.  Every deer and elk in the valley heard my name and headed over the divide into the next management unit!

My cell phone rang while at full draw. (this actually happened and resulted in ringer being turned to the "off" mode while hunting)
