I must agree with what davidmill has stated when shooting your first deer. I shot at more than 1 before scoring on a nice doe and deer are hard to come by in these parts of the woods. However once I shot my first deer with a bow I have been lucky and have hardly missed another one. I feel that getting the first deer was the hardest regardless of how much practice I did. There is just something about being able to get past that first one that made a difference to me. Anyways no matter what I hope you all can get past that first deer and have a safe and great season ahead of you.
