Words to remember before the shot?
 

This will be my 4th year at bowhunting.
Some post said that some guys laminate certain words on their bows to calm them down before they take a shot at a live animal.
I think this would help me because I get real excited the closer a deer is.
Bend at the waist is the only word I can think of.Please give me some words that help you,so I can make a good clean shot.Thanks

The words of Mel Gibson in 'The Patriot.' Great hunting advice (or advice for killing Redcoats, whichever): Aim small, miss small.

I'd say "Let Her Rip Tater Chip", but my upper limb just adorns a sticker of a goofy lookin' frog.....he's rode it out for years with me.

"Follow Through" missed my first deer because I didn't....so that saying will stay with me forever.

RE: Words to remember before the shot?
 

aim,aim,aim,aim,aim,aim.aim,aim.Probably some where between the third and fourth aim the arrow was off but I was still aiming to make sure I followed through.

RE: Words to remember before the shot?
 

This is my first year bow hunting, but I have been shotgun and muzzleloading for years. Every time I see my deer, I remind myself with "Breathe dammit!". It calms the nerves for the steady shot.

Good Luck! Aim, deep breath, let it out slowly, let 'er rip.

follow through, if I keep it in my mind to follow through the entire time I am watching a shooter I have better results. Good Luck

bite your tounge hold your breathe pray to god and shot

RE: Words to remember before the shot?
 

I have nothing, what I try to do is visualize the shot as I sit and wait(before I see a deer). I visualize deer coming in and wear I am going to pull back, etc etc. Just like a lot of the modern athletes do.

RE: Words to remember before the shot?
 

Use the FORCE.

RE: Words to remember before the shot?
 

Anchor
Bend
Aim
Squeeze Shoulders

I'm doing the same thing as ghemry, I visualize where the deer will come from at every angle and exactly where I will have to take the shot... this is only my 2nd year bowhunting and luckily I keep a cool demeanor through all of it. My adrenaline starts pumping when I first see a deer coming in... when they take their sweet time, like they do, it gives me time to sit down, calm down, and compose myself before I ready myself for the shot. This is what I did last night. I stayed seated until he was within 5 yards of my shooting range, as soon as he put his head down in the beans, I slowly stood up. I stood there for 10 minutes waiting on him to make his way into my shooting lane, I got my feet situated, I held my bow steady until I was ready to draw, then I reminded myself to breathe, and I replayed everything in my head that my husband would be saying to me if he were sitting right there, "breathe in through your nose, out through the mouth, kisser button in the corner of your mouth, string on the side of your nose" It helps me to be able to remember what he would say if he were sitting with me...

If I put any words on my bow it would definitely be "Compose yourself"...

I have a picture of my baby girl with the words "Im hungry" under it. Its really a joke but it keeps me motivated on those long days.

RE: Words to remember before the shot?
 

I always say asmall prayer when hunting. I say Dear God, if you give me the opportunity, let my shot be true, and the kill quick and Lord help me when I aim. Good luck.

Pick a hair....

RE: Words to remember before the shot?
 

I do the same as ghemry and buck hunting girl. I'll visualize where the deer will be when i draw. And most of the time i see a deer, it's like de ja vue becuase i have already daydreamt it. Kinda funny.
