i went back and forth between compond and traditional for a year.
there were some frustrating times let me tell you.
I once missed a small doe 4 times in one night. each time she was standing in exactly the same place. the 4 arrows were grouped in about a six inch circle. i just kept shooting over her until i ran out of arrows and then just watched her eat corn.
another time i had a doe in the perfect spot. 8 yards slightly quartering away. i shot and she jumped the string, the arrow went over her by a good bit. then 20 minutes later another doe shows up walking down the same trail, when she is in the same spot...i am talking the the same tracks. i draw, force myself to hold just below her chest for the drop and shoot. she never moves a muscle. the arrow sticks in the mud just below her and she is still standing there. you could have heard my groan from the camp house.
so i feel your pain brothers, and these are just a couple of the dozens of stories. still don't give up....the third deer down the trail above i shot through the heart.
remember to pick a spot, i think this is the most common mistake.
and lastly,,,,it's better to miss low than to hit high.
