bobwhite Posted October 3, 2010 Report Share Posted October 3, 2010 Went out for the opening day of Pa. bow season in the afternoon and saw 5 does. Saw a fawn that still had its white spot must of been born late I guess.Had 2 does standing broad side for the prefect shot but they were to small to take. So I watched them feed for awhile and then they wonder off, It was just nice to be out even if I did not get anything!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shockwave Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I gave a doe a close shave trying to break my new Hoyt in.. I sighted my bow in for 30 yards she was about 35 yards when i took the shot, hair went everywhere, she jumped 4 feet straight up in the air. Other than 100 squirrels that was it for my first day..

Be prepared is all I gotta say...:yawn::eat: Knowing your bow was only sighted in for 30, why take a 35 and risk a bad shot and wounding an animal? I'm not saying none of us on here hasn't made mistakes, we all have, but the way you make it sound, sounds like you should know your bow more before shooting at an animal.

I mis-judged the distance, i stepped it off after i retreived my arrow 34 1/2 steps, there was nothing between us but air and opportunity. I held on the lower 1/3 of her shoulder 3 inches higher from where i grazed her and it would have been a heart shot, and if i would have held higher instead of where i aimed, it would have been a double lunger..
