Fun wasn't it!

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!

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!

hickstick · October 08, 2009, 03:03:00 PM

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.

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
