Some miss some have to track a fair distance and some never find their prey (just like firearms hunting)
Guys need to stop worring about how the other guy hunts (as long as its withn the laws)and worry about filln his own frezeer

Never had one jump a string, no.
My long bow is quiet enough that a deer at 12 yards and closer do not flinch at the sound of the string.
I do know how slow my arrows fly however, and know how fast deer can be.
It's the same as long range rifle hunting, many of the preferred cartridges that people talk about being acceptable have a time of flight of 1.3 seconds or better at 1,000 yards.
Reduce it down to bow and arrow speeds and you get the picture.
An archer must be VERY accomplished at long range hunting , and be prepared for the consequences .
