CuseHunter Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 So I get out of my class and have an hour and a half before sun down, and decide to sit a stop right next to my college. The landowner told me about a ground blind and how there is a doe that walks right to it. So I sit in the blind, wait and it shows up... It presented a nice shot and I drew back. It takes another step and I wait for it to get closer as it was headed broadside walking closer to me. It stops and I let it go, nice broadside 25 yard shot. What do you know... My arrow hits the damn groundblind next to the window. It went right through the tent like material and broke into 3 pieces. Just my luck, not only do I 1) miss the doe 2) break my arrow 3)spook the deer... But 4) now made a star hole in the ground blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuseHunter Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 I even checked to see if I'd clear the window... It looked good, then WHACK. Just hit the edge... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuseHunter Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who has hit the blind. I felt like such an idiot for not just moving over and kneeling to take the shot. Definitely learning for mistakes and not successes this season.

shawnhu Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 So what exactly broke your arrow? Not the tent-like material, I'm sure. X-Calibur Lighting Systems http://facebook.com/XCaliburLightingSystems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doewhacker Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Hey, your'e still young and in training don't worry. I'm 33 and made some mistakes along the way (and still do) trust me, plus I have been hunting since I was of legal age to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CuseHunter Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Yeah, it was my 2nd archery season this year, no family to teach me the ways. And first time ever hunting from a ground blind. The only way is up I guess 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think a broad head would cut right through any tent-like material.
