c_lou Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 What happens when you are aiming at a deer and instead of bending at the waste, you drop your bow arm to aim? Would your arrow miss low or high? This happened to me last night. Stand is 30 feet up and the deer was 10 yards from the tree. When I inspected my arrow there was no blood, no hair, no nothing. It was buried in the ground. I watched the deer and it acted like nothing happened. I watched him hangfor about 30 minutes before I got down to find my arrow. I found the spot where he stood for 15 minutes or so and found 3 drops of blood. This little deer was close to a 145 8 pointer. I am just sick with myself, but from everything I seen from the deer, he will be fine and seemed to not know what was going on. How long should I wait to get back out there and will he still be around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I think you grazed him, doubt he has a clue what happened. I would get back on him in a couple days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scbasshunter Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I know everybody says you have to bend at the waist, but I shot my bow yesterday at a shop without a peep sight by only putting the pin on the target. I was dead on. It seems to me that as long as your peep sight, pin and target are lined up, you should be ok. I have only been big into archery this year, so please don't take what I say to be the final word. I have always heard and been told to bend at the waist, so that would probably be the best thing to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 i think it is just makes you more stable than lowering your arm. But im not totally sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 he may turn into a ghost and he might be still in there when you left. all deer are different. you may have just plain missed. you won't be able to hold as steady. that said a lot of the time you'll shoot HIGH with improper form of not bending at the waist.
