and a miss ! i wasn't going to go this evening since the wind was gusting 20 mph and it was only 13 degrees but since it was the last day and only had bout a half hour till dark i decided to stroll through my woods real quick. had not gone 70 yds from my house and saw a couple deer walking in the woods [note to self:don't count your chickens till they're hatched ! ] they saw me and ran off ....stopped at maybe 100 yds and i had to shoot offhand and quick ! she[doe] ran off with her tail up and i watched her run out of sight. i went straight to where she had been standing and didn't see sign of a hit but i walked the direction she ran and covered a big area and didn't find her so i'm pretty sure it was a clean miss. i'm not too sad. i really didn't feel like freezing my hands off dressing one ! still have archery for alittle while yet but it better warm up first !!!!!!!!!!!

Yep, I've tried the quick 100yd. offhand shot with a HPR and had the same result. I'd much rather have a miss than a bad hit. I'm thinking I'm done with that particular shooing style!
