My name is booger and I'm a deer misser. I missed a 13 yard chip shot on a fat young spike with my longbow this evening. Your support is appreciated.

Happens to me at least once a year. All part of it...

I'll take a clean miss over a bad hit any day. I've done plenty of both.

You'll get em next time.

Don't you know it is bad mojo to shoot a young fat spike. Someone was looking out for you. Consider yourself lucky!

I'm right there with you...yesterday I watched my arrow hit a limb in slow motion..my son also missed his first..no blood hair or arrow.

Very few get a pass when I'm using the longbow. But young fat spikes have long fat backstraps.

missed last week on a 10yd chip shot. Have no clue what happened. clean miss over his back. cowhorn spike. I already had the spike stew recipe in my mind

You know what adds insult to injury? Miss a big fat nannerhead at 12 yards. Then have the heifer step on your expensive Easton ACC arrow and bend it when she hauls tail out of there. I had that happen about 13 or 14 years ago.

This could be a long topic, for those not in denial.

I missed a coyote Saturday afternoon at 15 yards. The arrow only had two hairs on it. Pissed me off. But that's bow hunting!

I missed a 140 class at 18 yards couple years ago. I cussed and cried. Ended up getting him with rifle later that season.

I'm with ya. Tuesday evening I had a doe at 20 yards and clean missed over her back. I judged it for 30 yards...well that's my excuse anyways. Come on gun season!

Yes

Part of bow hunting, all the aggregation is worth it when you do stick one.

Woops aggrevation

Welcome to the club.

Thanks guys. I'm taking the miss one day at a time.

I would rather miss one with a recurve,than kill one with a compound anyday,I am not knocking compounds they are great,but hunting with traditional archery is almost spiritual.

It's gonna be okay Boog, the days will get easier. Time wounds all heels, er, I mean heals all wounds...

You missed?!! You should be ashamed. I'll pm you my address so you can send me your shirt tail. Now go stand in the corner and think about what you've done!

Boog, My wife's uncle is Byron Ferguson's brother. They call him the long bow legend. Maybe I could get him to counsel you.

Bryon, is the most amazing shot I ever seen, could pass for Conway Twitty brother.

I missed one in ga 3 weeks ago, I feel your pain

You mean Byron wouldn't be afraid that my FSU loving, fat spike missing mojo might rub off on him?

Boog don't feel bad, I missed 3 times, 3 different deer, in one afternoon from the same tree. Nobody on the face of the earth has ever had a worse case of doe fever than I have when I have a bow in my hands.

Missing is going around today

Missing may be contagious and is definitely airborne!

My worst is a friend of mine and I hunting years ago about 100 yards apart. Missed the same 6 point 3 times. I shot over him twice, Gene shot over him once. Traditionally we use to cut off your shirt tails if you missed a deer and hang them on a post at camp. Camo got more expensive, and that tradition ended.

Bought a range finder the next day.

Hi, my name is Booger and I'm a deer misser. I missed a doe yesterday with my longbow at 5 steps. I would appreciate your support. Thanks.

welcome to the deer missing club .remember to pay the 10 buck fine to aldeer to help with the site.

by doing this you will learn to stay focused and quit missing deer or this site will get paid for a couple years in advance.
