Maybe he is concentrating so hard on trying to hit a small spot on the pillow target that his form is breakiing down and he is actually trying to hard to hit it. When he is shooting at the deer he is probably more relaxed and in the hunting mode state of mind and figures that he better make each shot count. Therefore without him even knowing it or thinking about it he is doing everything right. I have had the same problem too. I would get so intense about trying to hit a little quarter sized bullseye that I would shoot around it without ever actually hitting it much. Then when I went to the deer target I would pretend I was out hunting and that was my only shot of the seaseon, and then I would be smacking that kill zone consistantly. Just a thought on what might be going on. Bhunter32
