depends alot for me. ive always been pretty stone cold before the shot...i say im in "kill mode" and in the zone and that focused that nothing else matters and i dont have time to think to get excited...

but then theres times i watch the animal and wait for the shot blah blah etc and i get the shakey knees and all that...im usually preety good about calming down REAL quick...but after the shot, forget it.

when i shot my buck last year i made my buddy climb the tree to get my gear and bow because there was NO way i could got down with it(i was in his stand...he climbs an actual tree and uses the branches as steps!!!!!) the stand was bouncing up and down from me shaking and as soon as i released the arrow my knees started knocking like you wouldnt believe..i have NO idea how i didnt drop my bow...or hit the end of my harness rope! i watched the buck fall and it was all over for me...i think i shook out all the leaves from the maple tree the stand was in lol....
