I remember the first deer I shot at with a bow it was only about 5 yards away I was smiling as I drew( I knew she was mine),I freaked when the arrow hit the ground a couple of feet in front of her.I climbed down went home,couldn't figure out what went wrong,got home shot my bow it was good to go,then it dawned on me what the problem was I closed the eye when when I put my sights on her.I learned something that day slow down & take your time things will work better for you.Since then I've taken a spike 3pt & a doe . Good luck
