String Jive not Jump

[Centex]

First trad hunt. First doe out. First miss. Had a little doe feeding contently for 40 minutes. Took my time, drew, anchor, and good release. She was 2 yards in the opposite direction when my arrow hit the ground. She did not jump she juked, jived, and twisted. This is going to be a big learning curve.

How far was the shot? How quiet/ loud is your bow?

[Centex]

12 yards. Bow is braced and dampened correctly. No wind.

[JEFFRO]

keep at it.

[LeanMachine]

That's pretty discouraging. Not the norm in my experience.

Fred Eichler's article in the current TradBowMag made feel better yesterday. Also reading on average a miss every four pages in The Adventures of Fred Bear.

[M.E.B.]

Killed one last night at about 13 yards. Did not see her move but arrows entrance and exit showed that she did.
