I am a pretty good shot on the range but missed a doe at 20 yards; what might have gone wrong?
LANCE from TX asks: I do not practice from an elevated perch like I should basically because there is no where set-up for that. I shoot a Bowtech Guardian set at about 55lbs. I use Rage 2 Blade mechanicals and I shoot pretty well when practicing on normal targets 20-30 yards. However, this past weekend I missed a doe from a 15 foot ladder stand at about 20 yards. I aimed square behind the shoulder. What advice can you give? Winke Responds: Lance, There could be a number of reasons for this. I would start carrying two arrows with Judo points to my stands each time and take a couple of shots at leaves to see where you are hitting. Many people tend to shoot high from a tree stand. If you have a breakdown in shooting form it is usually one of two things: either you don’t bend at the waist when shooting down – you need to preserve the 90 degree angle between your bow arm and upper body, or you might be canting (leaning) the bow badly. That is easy to do from a tree stand and will cause left
