I forgot to lick my arrow and it didn't stick.

I fell over backwards off my Nifty seat, twice in one week. Not really an excuse, but now I cannot remember the excuse I had for not using my Huntmore chair.

Charlie,
That sleeping excuse sounds like me. I couldn't tell you the number of times I have fallen asleep on a stand. Of course, that way I miss seeing the deer. When I miss hitting them it is the magnetic field making me miss.
Hope you are well.

My true excuse: The buck was too close, I didn't know where to put the arrow!

My favorite excuse after reading this thread: To keep it fair chase, I first fired a warning shot over the head of the deer.

My new best excuse: Due to the intense magnetic activity of the sun causing an electric arc, the arrow veered off course.

Unfortunately, this rare phenonenon is due to re-occur on the 15th, my next hunting date.

One bow. One arrow. My ideal.

It's the economy's fault...At the moment I was about to release I remembered I had called in sick and there was no way my boss wasn't gonna hear about this big one so I missed on purpose so i could keep my job.

The quest to improve is so focused on a few design aspects & compensating for hunter ineptness as to actually have reduced a bow & arrow’s effectiveness. Nothing better demonstrates this than mech. BHs & speed fixated designs

Arrow fell off the string due to a defective nock just as I released.

The noise from the dry fire killed the buck from a heart attack but with no bloodtrail I never was able to find him.

I missed a good shot today, heck....I couldn't hit my butt with a banjo!

I'm sure that buck had an invisible force field around him and it deflected my arrow.
