Bob - I foolishly made an absolutely perfect shot on a whitetailed buck in South Eastern BC one late fall hunt - Kettle River Valley. The buck was broadside and below me - on about a 25 degree angle - about 110yard shot level. I was using my ultra-fast 65 pound (& slightly unstable) Ron Fox longbow - 550gr. shaft and head @ 215fps. My arrow flew perfectly. The buck jerked ahead 5 or 6 steps after my arrow was loosed, then stopped - the arrow striking the ground, perfect shot-placement through his lights - where he'd been standing. The arrow was some 12" to 18" behind the deer's butt, sticking in the ground.

I've been crapping on myself time and again for even taking that shot - maybe 20 years ago. It was a good shot and the only miss I have been grateful for - is could so easily have been through his guts instead of a clean miss.
