This was a shooting tip and has nothing to do with the deer jumping the string. That's another topic in itself. I guess I should have given this thread a different title.
I've won two state championships, tied for third in a different state, won a five state championship, took 17th at the national tournament and shot 31 straight perfect 300's indoors one winter. I shot for Bear Archery as a pro and taught 3 state champions and I've killed deer with a bow. If you don't find this works fine. You're on your own.
I agree with all that and its fairly understood by most shooters you got to bend at the torso. But I find all the championships and stuff really doesn't apply for hunting. But you did add you kill deer with archery.
I know some great 3D shooters, and people who can hit a skoal can every time at 50 yards, but same people miss deer. boggles the mind. Deer hunting and target are entirely two different disciplines. I usually do not see both exclusively being good at the other. In fact, its rare. Usually see the target guys come out in the field wit a bow that looks like he is going to take on the clingons with 12" stabilizers and all that garbage.
Thanks for the tip.
