Missing can be good, if you have a long drag to the truck.

Were you wearing an armguard?  That could help prevent that next time (not the ducking, but the string hitting your arm).

alright  missed again sunday morning.this was all my fault again because i didn't wait til it walked in a little closer.the shot was about 26 yds just a little out of my range but i thought i could get it but i just missed under it.next time maybe i'll be a little closer.
