Practice on 3-D Deer targets all summer to develop shot placement skills. When that big 10 is in front of you, you won't have time to read.

NAP used to make "Stay Calm Pick a Spot" stickers. I actually had one on my bow and would always catch myself rereading the words whenever a big boy was inbound. Kind of one of those "Don't forget to breath" things. I still catch myself reminding me to "stay calm and pick a spot" whenever a deer is inbound. I just don't need the sticker now

Actually, quite a few guys use little "reminders" on the inside of their bow limb. Hey, if it helps remind them to concentrate at the time of the shot...go for it!

Equally inmportant is -

FOLLOW THROUGH..

A lot of deer are missed because a bowhunter will drop his arm to see the arrow hit the deer.

FOLLOW THROUGH..

Thanks for your thoughts.
Didn't need the reminder tonight when a 2 1/2 year old doe stepped out in front of me. Hit her a tad high right behind the shoulder. She jumped, took a couple of steps, turned around and looked back (her expression was like "What the???") and fell over. Less than 10 seconds. Man was i proud of myself for staying calm and picking a spot. Now i can wait for ole grandaddy now that i got one under my belt this year. Hopefully I'll remember to pick a spot then.

my sticker

The note on the top limb of my bow says
CALM DOWN
PICK A SPOT
FOLLOW THROUGH
beleive it or not reading the little note really helps my buck fever
whatever works for you go for it

If you have a deer come in that you aren't going to take (BB, doe, etc.) practice on it by drawing and aiming at a spot on it but of course keep your finger away from the trigger!

I printed out a sign off the computer for the top limb of the bow and it says:

draw

aim / Pick a spot

release


put it on a buddy bow for him and he now has taken two deer. That is the biggest problem is to shoot for the total deer...
