RE: Shooting TOO LOW ! ?
Are you underestimating the yardages? Do you know the yardages and are holding low anticipating the arrow going high? Are you keeping your form through the shot by bending at the waist, which usually correct high shots?
We don't hear many people talk about missing low usually it's a form issue going high?

No, I'm notunderestimating the yardages. I don't feelanticipating the arrow going high. I feel like I'm right on the spot I have picked. I will have to pay more attention to myform through the shot, but I think the form it okay I have had someone watch me when I'm shooting and they tell me it looks good.I do not know?

I would suspect you are dropping your bow arm and not bending at the waist. On top of that, you are probably pulling your head and dropping your arm more at the shot to see if you hit the deer. Keep smooth, bend at the waist, execute proper follow through, and you'll have your deer.

No I'mnot underestimating the yardages. I'm holding right on.Form mightbe it but I feel like I'm doing it alrightthrough the shot.It's like all I can think of is heart shot and I miss low. I really don't know?
Get up the tree and practice, you'll figure it out.

bending at the waist is the hardest thing for me to remember, not to say that is your problem, but i agree with the others its a very good chance its a form thing!
keep practicing and dont start tweaking untill you are sure its not you.IMHO
the very best of luck to you!!!!
