Thanks.

I havne't read all the replies, but I believe someone mentioned experience. I'll agree 100%. Letting deer walk, just watching them helped me when I was younger. I also immediately pick the spot I want to shoot, and tell myself "it's only a deer, if he gets away without me shooting, others will come." I'll also admit that since I took up target archery 5 years ago, and having to shoot in front of a crowd once inawhile, has helped my shot confidence and nerves immensely. It's fun out in the woods now, and I can honestly remember every detail of every shot nowadays, right down to the trigger squeeze and my arrow hitting my spot since I've learned how to stay focused.
