I'm fairly certain Kobe Bryant doesn't practice for that game winning free-throw by only toeing the line and shooting one.

I suppose Brett Favre throws more than one pass, each practice session.

Repetition.............

Throw a pass, pop a pain killer, throw a pass, pop a....[:-]

repetition.

I would agree, but only after you have spent the time to get your confidence and familiarity at a consistent level from shooting numerous shots. It is a matter of a learned activity and muscle memory that can only be accomplished with repetition. Buck fever is attribuatble to a fearof failure, and this can be overcome by gaining teh confidence that only can come with a lot of shooting. To pick up your bow , occasionally, to check your one shot ability would be another way of boosting your confidence, if you ar e consistent. If not, then it tells you to spend more time with your bow and to get your form down.

The closer it gets to the season, the less I shoot. The last week is pretty much single shot deals, in jacket & garb, from a tree.

I agree 110% Good reply

First shot of the session into the bullseye = very good
Many shots into the bullseye including the first= even better.

I always take my time and pretend my first shot is a huge buck but good or bad I shoot 50 more to work on repatition. When that huge buck walks by and I'm shaking and sweating with excitement I want my shot to come as natural as possible.

As the season gets closer I will often shoot only one arrow,if it's good I do some chores if not I try to correct the problem get a good one and stop. Sometimes I shoot three and a good group I stop. Your last shot should be a good one to reinforce the mental game.
