Tostermann, first off, that is fantastic you are out hunting.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but are you able to exercise at all with your disability? If you are able to exercise, maybe you could do something to get your heartrate up, then take the shot in practice so you can gain some experience with regulating your heartbeat and breath rate.

Another point. Many times, when one gets excited, we forget to follow through with our shot, and want to drop our bow to take a look at the shot instead of trusting our aim. Not following through with a shot has cost a good many people a deer...DO NOT get discouraged. It took me 3 years to kill a deer with my bow. I missed several times at deere, hit and never found a deer, then finally killed one. Perserverance is at the heart of hunting and you my friend have that perserverance if you are out hunting cerebral palsy. It is only a matter of time until you score. Until then, you are a success no matter what. Best of luck.

Also toaster---sometimes you have to compartmenatlize the shot. Forget about the big picture, forget about telling your friends you killed a deer, forget about being nervous, forget about everything except.....except aiming at a very small spot in the vitals and touching off your release.
