RE: BUCK RUSH
Try concentrating on your breathing. Well, first, make sure you are breathing! It’s easy to start holding your breath when the rush kicks in. Then, try to slow down your breathing to a more normal in and out and the speed of your heart should start slowing down as well. But as Tribal said, experience helps. Another thing that helps is not putting so much pressure on yourself. Tell yourself it’s OK if you don’t get this particular deer, there will be others. Realistic practice, like shooting outdoors, shooting at 3D targets, pretending that it’s a huge buck in front of you as you take your practice shots, will all help too. Good luck, we’ve all been there.
