Hey guys and Girls! My name is Ben and I was wondering how all of you get over "Buck Fever". I practice all summer and spring. I have no problem with hitting my target. I tune my own bow. I always keep it in check. So to say the least I do do all of the right things up until I see a deer or animal I want to take. Now when I'm in my stand I decide I want to take the shot, I get the right yardage, I take a deep breath, I concentrate at where on the animal I want to hit, Settle the pin, Then I release. Sounds good right? But on EVERY release I get to excited to see how my shot was and where the animal is going to go that I drop my bow arm. It forces my shot to be off of the mark. It almost caused me to miss my biggest buck with a bow. I have noticed I have ALWAYS done it. I have just gotten lucky and still got a mortal shot. I was wondering if any of you have any ideas on how to fix this problem. Right now the only way that I can think to fix it is have the confort of having someonelse there in the stand to watch the shot so in my head I have the security of knowing that they will see it. I won't have to pay attention to that. Thanks for the help! Ok I was trying to upload pics of my buck but it says it is to big. Any help with that would be great too. Thanks!
