1-2 before the shot. I’m very methodical. 5-9 after the shot depending on a lot of factors. Buck/doe, does it go down in sight, good hit/bad hit?

This past spring on a gobbler I was probably a 9. Boy did I blow that one.

For some reason, the bigger they are, the calmer I get. I just get in a zone and go through a visualization process.

When I first see a deer coming in get jacked but usually by thetime that I get a shot I've calmed down and then get jacked again once the arrow hits. If I don't see the deer until it'stime to shoot I'm fine until the arrow hits.
