F up hard tonight

[No One]

As I am getting ready to walk down the road to hunt. I was on back porch getting dressed. I failed to notice the does feeding in back yard. When I did notice I scramble to cock bow and get the arrow in.. I thought I new my back yard well since that where I practice most of the summer. I must have used the wrong cheron cuz the deer trotted off like nothing happen. I found arrow no blood so I recheck the scope and its still dead on. I feel like a major screw right.

All I can say is we all make mistakes, and at least it was a clean miss.

[SummitSitter]

If it was only a doe and not the buck of a lifetime who gives a crap. At least you didn't wound it...

[Crazy Horse]

Bummer! They will back, you will get em next time. Easier said than done, but try to not beat yourself up too bad.

[Waif]

Back yard hunting can be tricky.
Maybe that's why some times some one else's yard works better?

Get back out and try again....it will happen.

[GRUNDY]

Think of it as paying the dues...

I paid hard last year. This year I'm afraid I'm starting to border on taking out a loan...

Stay after it!

[one shot scott]

i can relate.
I released an arrow and found it with no blood tonight too. Fulam. I even ranged my shot b4 and after. Needless to say im checking my gear agian. If its on...? its me or i had a deflection.

clean miss feels a whole lot better than watery blood! get back at er.

Stuff happens, better on the next shot

Not saying I've ever used the wrong mark, but that's why I use a scope with a single crosshair.

That's a bummer for sure but not the end of the world. You know your scope's on so poke a hole in one of those does the next time for sure.
