When a deer is front of you a whole new level of anxieties come into play. Several years ago I started passing on lots of deer or taking a lot of time to decide to shoot. Basically it too my mind off the fact that "Oh my God" I got to shoot. To making an other decision that really had nothing to do with the shot. It made the shot kind of secondary. It's made a heck of difference in my shooting at game. This is not just with trad shooting it applies to all hunting weapons. Now granted there are time when a quick shot is required. But if you practice patience when the chance is given it will help in those times when a quick decision is required. I also pass on a lot of shots but will draw and hold visualizing a good hold and release. I practice this on the range.
