Shoot your bow. I shoot all year long. I really shoot alot from July on. I practice right throughThe season too. Something I do is I have a preshot plan. It helps me stay clam. I make sure to Keep breathing. I realized that I hold my breath sometimes, (I don't know why) , when a big buck comes in. I have it by the numbers so to speak. 1. breath 2. hook up release, 3.pick a hair (aim big miss big aim little miss little) 4. smooth draw 5.anchor 6.AIM 7. squeeze it off. It sounds stupid but it helps to keepme fromgoing off the deep end and trying to remember the taxidermists number whenI should be making the best shot ofmylife. I think it helps to focus on the shot. I agree with Steve (above) to practice in your hunting stuff. I have always done that without regardtothe funny looks from my neighbors. heavy hats and face masks can change your anchor point.
