I m-m-m-missed..ugh

[Mark Normand]

Had these two bucks at 40 yards for 30min, I quit filming. Then they quickly moved closer just for a bit, about to leave, I had to decide quick, took the shot, right over the back of the bigger one! He may have ducked it too, it was over in a blink! Stepped it off at 32 yards. So close! They sure didn't stick around to see what that was all about!

Bummer! Wish I could shoot that far!

[huntnmuleys]

It happens to us all from time to time. Get em tomorrow

[solobowhunter]

I've missed two this year myself.  Shot over both

[Thumper Dunker]

Get him next time. Only way not to miss is to never shoot.

I botched an 11 yard shot on a very nice 5x5 in Pennsylvania that I rattled in from about 60 yards.  I took hair off his back.

I am sure that my mouth hung open as I watched his walk away...  I am considering it "catch and release".

Bummer. I center punched a tree this weekend on a doe.

[ermont]

That's a long ways dude. Next time!

[nomansland4404]

32 yards may as well be a mile for me! Lol Hope you get another try!

[Irish Archer]

Yep, long way off to me! Keep pluggin'

[Ceb]

Shot over a nice buck myself last week. At 22-23 yds!

[Gen273]

It happens to all of us, I shot over one a few weeks back. Stay after them, you will get them next time.

[RAU]

The first year I hunted with my recurve I missed the biggest buck i ever shot at before or since not once but twice!! Once right over his back, once right under him! It stings no doubt!

[Boomerang]

Yep, shot over a nice doe at 15yds this past weekend.

I must have had some sort of stroke this morning as I missed a doe I had watched for nearly an hour feed to 14 yards.  I "double clutched" the release and she took off, not knowing what had happend.  I nocked another arrow as she stopped a ways off, I guessed 40 yards (the only gap that I shoot for- point on) and executed a perfect release with clean arrow flight, only to have the arrow sail inches over the crease behind her shoulder. If I had only shot like that to begin with...  It was a rough morning. Before people get on my case about shooting that distance, I need to say that I wouldn't have ever taken that shot if I was not standing upright, if the doe was looking at me, if i haven't practiced my point on broadhead shooting a 40 yards (I can't do gaps, so a anything appearing from about 30-38 is a no go).  I still have some time, but I am glad I am not hording the misfourtune.

[OBXarcher]

Talk to me after you empty a quiver, lol

Maybe we should re-name this thread to "Who missed from the least distance."  Me, 7 or 8 yards on a small buck, but I then watched my buddy nail him with a muzzleloader.  Still fun, besides you should count your blessings that you at least got a shot at them!  Any good shot opportunity makes for a good day in my book, even if I miss.  Beats watching TV!
