hang in there ive missed more deer than i really care to count shots that would be second nature now and like you stated at the range i coudn' t miss i could cover a three shot group with a quarter at a hundred yds but in the woods i couldnt hit a deer to save my hide. my brothers were no help with all the razzing.long story short my grandfather gave me a hint when shooting at running deer aim for the feet i was shooting high which he found out on one of my hundreth missed shots he found a bullet hole in a tree about five feet up thats why he told me to aim at the feet on running deer. on standing or walking deer he told me to pick a spot on the deer the size of a pencil eraser and try to see the bullet hit it a great marker is the notch right behind the front shoulder .since that information was passed to me ive improved my shot ratio 100% hope this helps hang in there it will come together for you
