Its like hippie, touchy feeliy rhetoric n all that jazz.....FOR ME!!! I used alot of new age positive mental imagery. Id "hypnotise" myself abd imagine myself doin it all right...over...and over...and over...you git the picture. The first deer i drew on this year, twas like it was the 1000nth one. Ya see, the Subconscious mind CANNOT differentiate between a real event and one that is fake. So if u convince the subconcious mind youve done it a buhzillion times already...heck it will believe it. Its helped me n ever aspect of archery AND hunting.
I kno...ur thinkin this is alot of jibberish, but it works home slice. For real, try it. I learned this when i was ridein bulls from a world champion named Gary Laffew. He used it to win a world championship.
Tell ya how good it works man at controlin those voices that seem to show up wiht the adrenaline rush. ( n hey, no need to talk urself through the shot). This i me now: behold, a deer is approachin. The POUNDIN heart, sweatin palms, strong urge to pee ur pants. This is when huntin shows play that crappily intense mood music.
Now the deer is in range..ohhh man. its broadside. Theirs the shot...all systems GO! and the subconscious mind takes over. Muscle memory. repetition. all is calm dead silent, no heart beat,urge to piss in drawers. all is gone. the arrows smacks home. I LET IT HAPPEN.
NOWW is when the crappy rock n roll plays in the huntin shows. NOWWWWWWW im excited again. i cackle like a chicken (laughin). now i feel the urge to make number one in drawers again.
See how it works??? I kno this all sounds far fetched but it completely changed my approach to shootin at animals and cured the "hurry up n miss" thoughts. I just let the subconscious take over. I knooooo......this all sounds crazy but for real my man, TRY it.
Take 10 minutes every day. relax in the quiet, close ur eyes. breathe deep. n FOCUS. See the deer. ur bow up. " thas the tuft of hair". feel the draw, the shot just happens. the arrow smacks RIGHT where u were lazer beamin with ur eyes. repeat over n over.
Try it man. Zen, Woosahh n all that good stuff man.
Didnt mean to git all out their but this has helped me Xponentially. Im a lil off my rocker, but not off the front porch. Try it.
