blackelk already touched on it, but having a large target isn't as nice as one would think.
Having several boxes of 3-D archery trophies, I can tell you now that I'd have much less of them if I didn't have a small aiming reference to aim at. Whether it be a crease on the target, a shadow line or another person's arrow, they all helped me where to aim at. The same goes for a deer. While often it's hard to pick a small aiming reference on a larger target like a live deer,
practicing and
concentrating at hitting a small spot will ensure more accurate hits, instead of just aiming at "
center mass". During crunch time it's also better to have your mind focused on something to help ease the adrenaline, ie, buck fever!
