You have your whole life to shoot MR. Big. Why pressure yourself with that just starting out?? You aren't out there to please anyone but yourself and gain experience. All of us started out shooting does and " any " buck that walked by. Well most of us have. Heck some of us still are happy shooting any buck. That is the way it should be.

I've been hunting for almost 30 years now. I still get shakey knees when a deer comes by that I want to shoot. When I decide on shooting a deer, I focus on takingthe shot. I focus on the spot where the arrows needs to be. Just like target shooting. Usually I am calm at the shot just as I am when practicing on targets. Granted you are still making sure the deer is in a good postion and there are no obstructions in your way... but I amconcentrating onwhich spot on the deer that needs to be hit. Put everything in the back of your mind but making the shot. It's hard to explain but it works for me.

Goodluck!!
