thenuge,

I've been there too. I can shoot a 3D fairly good, but on a live animal, I've forgotten everything at times. When that deer comes through, just keep telling yourself to aim, aim, aim. Also, it kind of helped me by (this may sound silly), but drawing and holding on a squirrel. A squirrel is fidgety and can move at anytime like a deer. Once I realized I had more time to aim, I calmed down more on a deer. So far this year, 3 shots with a bow, 3 dead deer.
