I've never shot a deer with a bow from a ground blind, but I thought I'd give it a try this year. Well, this morning two nice does came into range (approx. 25 yds), and I picked the best one of them and shot. What! A clean miss--how? I SHOT MY POPUP TENT BLIND I didn't take into consideration that with a bow the arrow launches from a point well below the sight. My bow wasn't elevated enough for the arrow to clear the wall of the tent. That won't happen again

It's happened to me, but with a tree limb

Same here, but with brush. Missed my elk of a lifetime.

It must be a Murphy's law that anytime that sort of thing happens, it's while you're looking at a great big whatever. Never a dink.

I wouldn't feel all that bad, I watched a guy do the exact same thing on a hunting show, shown on the Pursuit Channel with Direct TV.

Well you're only about the 9,013,038,510,938th person to do that. haha. Thankfully, I have not....YET. (knock on wood)
