Title: Blew a gimme tonight.
Post by: Matthew Bolton on September 23, 2012, 09:13:00 PM
Fifteen yard shot on a broadside doe. I didn't intently pick a spot or bend at the waist causing me to shoot high. I know better than that    :rolleyes:

In my short time hunting with traditional equipment, I have found that there is no such thing as a gimme shot. A clean miss is better than a bad hit any day.

Just learn from your mistake and this lesson will pay off for you in the future.

I vowed to never shoot over another deer, I had rather miss low, with that said I still will shoot over one once in a while, most of the time early in the season, it seems I have to learn the same leason each year!

The guy (or gal) that hasn't missed hasn't hunted very long!
