Great post and great tips GregH.

100% agree. When I teach kids how to shoot, I always tell them watch the arrow through the string. A slight peek to watch that arrow around the bow is always a bad shot in my experience. I have even help correct this with adults as well.

Also, If you do not have time to sit in the woods and to get closer to the deer like Greg stated, take up 3D, not just in your backyard but, join a league.It is pretty nerve racking when you first start a league, almost the same as shooting at a deer in the woods. You have people watching you shoot who you do not know. This will help you breath and make the shot.

I believe 3D archery can be a huge confidence builder. You can never be nerveless (if that is a word) in the woods but, you can have faith that where you put your pin is where you will hit.
