RE: What to do BEFORE the shot
I didn't check the link.....but if it's the thread GregH started a while back it's saved me and a possibly a deer an unfortunate instnce (quite possibly).
As adverse as my season started.....my initial goal this season was to NOT loose an arrow (attempt a shot) that I wouldn't be proud of. I've accomplished that to date (as unlikely as they may seem, to some). I'm not ashamed of one single arrow I've shot.
THE thing that turned my season around (as far as shot selection is concerned) is picking a spot EARLY.....and committing myself to that spot from that point on.
THAT THREAD was one of the best I've ever seen in these forums.....and I thank Greg for taking the time to post it.
