often i hear about people that hit deer and they have to track them a mile due to badly placed shots, but how many actually have clean misses?
i for one have had several when i first went to using a xbow a few years ago, they either went way over the top or way under the belly
the good part is...investing in a rangefinder and lots of practice cured all that for me

I`ll be honest and say, I have only had 1 shot and 1 kill, but I imagine someday I will get a deflection or some buggaboo that will nock my arrow way off it`s target ;DJack.

I missed two bucks until I determined that the Thunderheads plane badly depending which way the head is turned. Switched to Slick Tricks and the problem is solvecd.

I'm good at clean misses, geeesh am I good. Bought a el cheapo range finder to help me out. Never had a problem with yardages when I shot recurve, but I guess looking thru the scope on a xbow does me in. BOB

although a clean miss hurts when it happens it is so much better than a poor or marginal hit! :oto answer the question i have no misses with my crossbow yet.

Ussally with a xbow....a clean miss, means you hit something or did something too miss....the things are so accurate.....the only problem ,i've had with my xbow is deer ducking them and the arrows hitting high....i've done this 3 years in a row.....one great 10 pointer and 2 - 8 pointers....its that lil twack the quad400 gives of that does it....for now on i'm aiming lower in the future and all the shots have been within 25 yards ....Heck i thought it was me....until someone else stood around listening to my bow....and we figured it out.....Honkers41!!!
