question... shooting targets versus animals

[naturegirl]

 

New practice setup.

 

I'm going to make myself bring a target on my archery deer hunt and set it up on different angles. It's been a long time since I've done this. I'm overdue

You can not shoot does...... Add Horns

I purposefully left them off. They mean nothing to me this year. It only needs nubs.

 

I do get to shoot a doe or two in Illinois though

I think you're thinking way to far into it. You know where you're supposed to shoot an animal. Pick a spot concentrate and follow through with your shot. Shoot a ton. I think muscle memory is huge. Let your body go into auto pilot. Don't make something so simple more complicated than it is. Good luck!!

I wish....my brain doesn't work that way. I'm a fixer.

 

I don't think it's wise not to look at your performance and find ways to improve it, especially when there is something that keeps repeating itself.

Not sure anyone mentioned this but, if the shots at animals were up or downhill I bet the third axis on your sight is off. One time I noticed I would constantly hit 6 or so inches right shooting uphill and 6 or so inches left shooting downhill out past 40 yards. My problem was the third axis on my sigh was off which resulted in my bubble level "lying" to me on up and downhill shots which results in the bow being canted at the shot.
