  1. Why would it be a hit if you missed?


  2. naw it dosnt make sence because its (a near missed you witch means i accually hut you ):$ im confused now lol

  3. i don't think it implies that it is NEARLY a miss, rather a miss that is NEAR to a hit.

    i think you could say near hit though. no-one would shoot you.

  4. No it sounds better and it makes more since "a narrowly averted collision; a near escape"
