My shooting was horrendous last season. The doe I shot opening morning I hit back in the liver, she was still alive when I found her and required a follow up shot. The buck I shot in September I hit in the neck and was lucky to have cut off the wind pipe. Missed the same buck twice, once on Halloween (15 yard chip shot, un-alert deer, I flinched hard upon release and missed by several feet) and again Nov. 12th (unknown distance between 35 and 40 yards, un-alert deer locked down with a doe, again I flinched hard as soon as I could see brown hair through my sight window and sent an arrow 3 feet over his back. Should have never even drawn the bow back... greedy) before getting back on him and killing him on Nov. 16th. If I hadn't killed him I would still be eating myself alive over that Halloween miss. I kept trying to make excuses for why I was shooting so bad, until I just accepted that I had full-blown target panic when it started happening on 3d targets in the yard. I don't want to blame my equipment, but I've found out that myself and index trigger releases just don't get along anymore, especially in high stress situations. I've been shooting well with a tension activated release and a thumb button in the yard, we'll see in September how it translates to live targets. I'm extremely confident that I'll get my opportunities, just need to make them count. I was very lucky last season that all my bad shots still resulted in dead deer, or clean misses.
