Yeah what Terry said. It's usually all a blur for me. But I know I shoot every deer just like I am bowfishing. Yes my name is KentuckyTJ and I am a snapper. I do tell myself before hand to pick a small spot though.

The deer I shot last weekend to 30 minutes to get into range. I just kept saying to my self pick a spot, push pull, that is 20 yard spot closer hold low, 20 yard hold on spot. I said it over and over.

I don't remember the release but I do rember the arrow flight and I saw it go in the deer.

I watch the animals body. When the angle is right I watch the head. The first chance I have at drawing without (hopefully) being detected, I draw and shoot. Once I make the decision to shoot, I pick my spot and the rest just happens. All I know is my bow arm goes up I draw and the arm doesn't move until I see the arrow strike. What happens in between is all automatic. And I never think about yardage, (Just let my mind worry about that).
