Spike comes in from my left... :scared:
My first deer of my life will have to wait.. :banghead:
Fun wasn't it! :bigsmyl: Thats why I love hunting with my recurve because even when things go wrong it still make me smile!
Pretty cool, sure is exciting! Even the misses are a blast, you'll remember that forever!
Everyone misses even the guys that say they dont. Get em next time :thumbsup:
Something similar happened to me last year. Stinks doesn't it? :(
I just missed 2 last weekend. I understand.
Missed a doe last night with my self bow. Got so nervous had to sit down. :jumper:
Bob, just keep after 'em!
A swing and a miss is better than no swing at all.....I guess!!
Give me a ring when you have him hanging!!
Never happens to me! Referring to the clank from the bar of a ladder stand.
Course, I usually don't hunt out of a ladder stand. But it has happened to me with a tree limb and I have actually missed without any good excuses! Pick a spot!
It happens, I have done it also. I bet you will not do that again. Hard way to learn isn't it. Same way I learned, I have moved on to other dum things now. The ways to screw up are endless.
Same happened to me on my FIRST miss this season. Drew on a doe and followed her along, somehow swung my drawn bow between my legs ( sitting down)On release the lower limb smacks my left leg and of course it was a clean miss, and a sore leg.I've managed to find four other ways to screw up since then but I'm still having fun!
yup...had a P&Yer come in behind the tree half a decade ago and craned around to shoot and as I released the bottom limb of my longbow hit the seat of the stand. I almost dove outta the stand after the buck I was so frustrated! but then I laughed ....especially when my brother yelled out 'That didn't sound right!' at the top of his lungs from a hundred yards away.... :)
Hey too cool. A few years agoe I hit the inside of my left knee with the bottom limb of a Big Horn recurve. :scared:
I used all 7 words you are not supposed to use in public.

Just missed my first last weekend. nice 4pt at 23yds. Arrow hit a branch with about 12yds to go. Went right over his shoulders. Emotional roller coaster...what a ride!!! Just keep trying!!!!
Yep you just got a lesson from a cruel teacher.....giving you the test and teaching you the lesson afterwards.
But I bet you don't do that again. Keep at it and you will get another shot your obviously in a good location. Have Fun
