Crossbow,   'Not hunting in Washington', right?  (Disabled hunter?)

Miss at 7yds?   Tree limbs and such do that to bullets and arrows/bolts.

Could I flinch or in some way screw up a shot that close? If it's not something that can shoot back at me, Doubtful.

Sorry bud.. Hopefully you can find solice in the possibility that a branch deflected your arrow.  :dunno:

He's disabled. But a crossbow would also be legal in a Firearm Restriction Area.

Guess I'm not on here much...  :chuckle:

All ya gotta do is put 'disabled hunter with crossbow' or hunting with crossbow in a firearms restricted area, and there would probably never be a question. 'People know me on here' might not be enough.

What the hell are ya doing on here.. Get back out there and get that Bull!

Ditto!  But it was a spike.  I still go over it in my head every season.

Yeah unfortunately it really su$cks when you miss .... but eventually it happens to everyone .....I remember missing a buck when I was a kid and did not sleep for days over it and since that day I now make sure to take a deep breath and squeeze the trigger  :yeah: with a bow or gun !
