Default RE: Pre-Shot Routine

I actually start preseason with my 3d target. I pretend it is a real deer walking through the woods. different scenarios. jumpy deer, skitsie deer, calm deer, you name it. I am low if I believe it will jump the string, etc. you get the point. one thing I have found in the past is the fact that I get sooooo wrapped up in the moment watching the deer, I forget to plan ahead, like, if this deer goes left, what shot do I have? do I have a shot? so, after almost letting a nice 8 slip by me a number of years ago, I plan my shot well ahead of time. I pick my lanes for each side of the tree. I'll come to full draw and pretend a deer is walking through and put the appropriate pin on it. hope this helps.
