Problem was that I had just lowered my bow down. After he went past I yanked it back up and proceeded to misjudge the yardage and shoot under him. Good luck the rest of your trip.

Seems to be the flavor of the week. Had a buddy with a 160-170 bedded at 50 yds in waist high CRP for 2 hours in KY. Stood up and walked butt away from him

But I had my longbow and it was 5 yards more than I felt comfortable shooting. I looked at it as paying dues for something better in the future.
