i have a confession
« on: December 17, 2013, 10:01:23 AM »
I missed a deer on Saturday :bash:  long shot range finder said 60 yards but I thought that looks like a long 60 to me.  I put 60 pin right on her and let it go watched as arrow as it just fell short.  Found my arrow no blood clean miss it was laying right in the bed where she was standing.  I had my cousin walk back to where I shot from used range finder again this time it said 72 yards I guess I must have picked up some brush the first time I ranged the deer.  I'm blaming this one on Bushnell.

We all get excited in some way when the shot opportunity is there. Tough to ignore the range distance you want to see when the adrenaline is pumping...

If I never made mistakes I would be twice as dumb as my "friends" tell me I am  :chuckle:

Wait what???? You have a $2000.00 dollar bow, $500.00 dollar sight, $200.00 dollar string, $200.00 dollar release, goldshafted titanium tipped arrows,  the latest and greatest camo just like some tv huntard and makeup.....but use a $50.00 dollar rangefinder.... :dunno: :bash: :chuckle:

Some people would say that you should be able to know the range without one...I am definately not one of those guys. I have to use one if it gets outside of 35

He is for sure a pilgrim.


Shooting way way way to far.....probably was using lighted nocks.....probably way to close to shooting hours being over.....probably rushed the shot......probably didn't have elbow up either.

 :stirthepot:

Just in case....I'm messing with him. He knows it, we all know it. D is a hellava shot....he'll get it done.
