KT, I'm sure you have been practising(sp) , so I won't even talk about that. I guess only you will know when the shot feels right, and when to take it. Personally, I admire you for holding out, and waiting for a good shot. Too many bowhunters think they are deadly at far to much distance. Don't beat yourself up over last year, but continue to learn from it as you are doing. Myself, I rarely will take a shot much over 25 yards. Just me, but I like it up close and personal.
Now, if you really need more help, I would be glad to come and hunt with you. (45 deer in a day... My God
