missed an Axis Doe this summer at 70 yards with 4.5-14x scope. Doh! same setup I have DRT shots 160, 180, 90, etc. It was a direct neck shot, but still, I suck.

Okay, while this doesn't qualify as a missed shot, it's definitely in that same category.
Until a certain incident last season when I missed taking a shot a nice buck that stood no more than 10 yards to my right, I have never been able to shoot left handed. I just could never get a good sight picture through a scope while holding a rifle left-handed. After failing to get off a shot last season at the buck I mentioned earlier, I mentioned to a friend about not ever being able to shoot left-handed. He then asked me, "Are you remembering to use your left eye and not your right when looking through the scope."
Busted!

My first year I bowhunted I missed a doe at 8 yards, then I drilled her at 25 yards. When I got to looking why I missed her I found a knick in the bottom of the window where my arrow had hit the popup blind. Gotta love bowhunting!
