RE: Well...I Choked
What are you shooting 40 yards for ?
A clean miss is good but there is way to much wounding going on, Its not OK it needs to stop .
Close is best. Wait for your shot Twenty or under and you will not have this stuff.

Don't sweat it buddy, do-do happens! Keep your head in the game (focus), learn from your mistakes, and stay after it! If we killed them all, there wouldn't be any to hunt next year.
Good luck on Saturday!

Sorry to hear about the miss! Another chance will come in time and you'll score when the time is right.
Now I am not going to make too much of a comment about the distance of the shot, but I for one can say that I don't think I've ever taken a shot over 30 yards on a live deer. I guess its just personal preference, but if you practice that shot enough, then like I said its all personal decision. Get out there and take another chance!

Yup what all the guys said above..don't let it eat you up too bad... happens to all of us now or then.. I missed my first buck with a bow.. stuck my arrow right in a log he was straddled...shot low..
Get back in the saddle again and make the next one count..
