I have been bow hunting now for 25 years and there are still times I get the shakes. If the shakes ever stop, it might be time for me to stop. I love the feeling of my nerves on edge when the moment is approaching, but I know what you mean about having to control them also. I have taped on the top limb of my bow (just where I can see it when bringing the peep to my face) a little note that say (it's just a deer stupid). I always take a look at that before drawing, it seems to help settle me down. In fact, it has worked so well that I have another note taped on my 3D bow that says (It's just a target stupid). I know it might sound stupid, but reading those really has really helped me with target panic, both in the field and on the 3D course.
