Practice, practice, and practice. Does not take long to shoot 6 arrows every couple days. More important have patients to wait until the deer gives you the correct shot. It happens to EVERYONE sooner or later, but we owe it to the animal to practice.. Thats just it. I do practice and i went through 3 boxes of bloodsport bolts at 20-30 and 40 yards thanks to me being a smarta** and putting them so tight in a group I tore of the fletchings from the bolts. I'm using a crossbow but I can do this exact same thing with a compound bow. This particular picture was at 35 yards with the same crossbow I've been hunting with since the season started but I put a Killer Instinct Speed Ring scope on it instead of the original scope. Question: When you practice do you do it standing for sitting and the same question for hunting. It can make a difference on how you aim and shot in the two positions. Even bigger change possible with a compound bow without the scope.

I practice standing up, sitting down, on 1 knee, squat, and in the prone position. I try to incorporate every possible position at home that I might encounter in the woods. That way if I do have to make a change, providing I have time, I'm able to do so without feeling awkward.

At work this morning, but changed my schedule to where I'll leave an hour early each day. This at least counteracts the time change and I can hunt each evening still.
It's going to be warm later this week, hopefully they'll still move some before dark.

That got interesting fast. Missed a doe. Sjot another 5 mins later and all heck broke loose. I had a small 100 in 8 point and a 150 class 10 chasing does. The 10 actually pushed the doe I shot up towards my truck. As I'm typing I have 3 more does walking in.

So I found my arrow from the miss and have a serious blood trail from the doe I shot. Can't find that arrow though. Bad news is the guy hunting another property about 200 yards from me had her come by him being chased by the 2 bucks. She'd bed down and the big one would try to mount her. I believe I clipped a branch and hit her low. She can't use her right front leg at all. The other guy said she really struggling

Great morning so far. Seen 10 so far. Bucks are cruising! Had a basket rack 8 point run in to my grunt call. My 12 year took the day off School to to go hunting. Outdoor education day for him. Saw a 4 point tear up a tree about 40 yards from us. Best hunting day of the year!
