[QUOTE="PillsburyDoughboy, post: 4644107, member: 14197"] Well now days I don't miss too much so not really needing a second shot so much. But in my earlier years of bow hunting I slung plenty of arrows and missed. If you tree stand hunt and use the wind correctly they just think its sticks being thrown at them usually. They will usually jump or bump a few yards but if they were grazing or there was something in the area keeping them there they usually went right back to what they were doing after a few seconds so I generally was able to get a second shot off and sometimes a 3rd or 4th shot. Yeah I was bad back in the day. This was before laser range finders and getting smart about flagging trees with yard markers. I tried a crossbow for a couple of years due to a injury and could never get a second shot off on a deer. The exaggerated movements of bending down and the extra loud click and noise of drawing them back always made them weary . To each his own I guess. Ill be sticking with a compound... at least till they make the Airbows legal for everyone. Then I may be convinced to move to one of those. [/QUOTE]
