This is a mental problem , I get an anxiety that is 2 fold 1: I’m exited about the deer ( any deer I plan to shoot most times ) I have taken some nice ones as stated in my OP that I don’t get shook up ) 2; I have become anxious I’m going to screw it up . Think QB who just threw a pick 6 going back out on the field . I have the skill to do it just fine , I believe it’s the anxiety of failure / messing up again .


I think focusing on the front sight will force you to stop thinking about what you are doing and alleviate some of the anxiety. Most people who miss a deer are in a hurry to get it over with and get the deer dead NOW.
