Well yesterday I should have been out of the deer woods by 7:00 am.

She actually broke my Ace tipped Sitka Spruce between her front legs running.Turns out that 15 yard shot was actually 20. Guess I was counting my backstraps before they were made.

That's right sports fans even ole bentpole misses once in a while

I bet she broke your arrow on purpose! Congrats on the hunt, you will get her next time.

Well at least you got out on a nice day, and you'll get her next time.

Way to Go buddy... those Mohawks are really seeing some action this week across the country....

A shot with a clean miss is better than a wounding shot or no shot at all.

Congratulations!!

God bless,Mudd

Closing the deal is only a small part of the equation. Getting close enough is the trick. You did the hard part Bent, Congratulations!

Just means you get to shoot another arrow! Doesn't sound like a bad thing to me!

I'm betting that your arrows were still waterlogged after all the recent flooding. The extra weight of the arrow has to be what caused the shot to go low.

Set those shafts out in the sun to dry today!

Missing is all the fun and none of the work. And no sleepless nights. Sounds like a great hunt to me.

geez, tom, i thought mohawks are s'posed to correct human miscalculations of distance and trajectory?????

bentpole · « **Reply #13 on:** September 18, 2011, 04:18:00 PM »

Rob, I think Vince only builds that into his Sparrowhawks.

That's why they call it hunting and not shopping lol. At least your seeing them, good luck.

Hey Tom, glad to see someone is taking advantage of the early season around here. It's been a little too warm for me but the last few days have gotten me thinking about getting out.
You'll get her next time!!

Jerry Jeffer · « **Reply #17 on:** September 19, 2011, 04:36:00 AM »

Better luck next time old salty dog.

KentuckyTJ · « **Reply #18 on:** September 19, 2011, 07:38:00 AM »

The ones that have never missed simply haven't been at it long enough. Keep flingin'.
