When I miss I throw the bow pretty high and far...LOl But generally my arrow goes low and to the right.

I've only ever shot at two animals since picking up the bow. Both went high. Learned a good lesson about practicing from a tree stand......never thought that "bending" could mean so much.

If the animal doesn't react I'd say I miss all over the place....consistantly! Obviously if the animal reacts I miss high.

IMO high misses are often due to animals reacting rather than archer error!

You know you've missed lots of game when you comment after the miss on how nice the arrow flew!

It really depends on which side of the branch I hit top or bottom. You know that little branch that wasn’t there when you trimmed the shooting lanes.    :banghead:    :banghead:    :banghead:
People need to get a life. That dose not mean to take someone else’s, or to make one they can't support.
 
If you fish and hunt only to catch or kill something. You have MISSED THE POINT COMPLETELY.

If I ever get a shot I'll let you know!!!!!   :dunno:
In the beginner's mind there are many possibilities. In the expert's there are few...So the most difficult thing is always to keep your beginner's mind...This is also the real secret of the arts: always be a beginner.  Shunryu Suzuki
