Congratulations on a beautiful animal! I have my problems with Target Panic and Buck Fever. Would you mind sharing a little more on what helped you gain control of your shot? I am eager to try new (and good old..) ideas!! Sometimes I am able to pick a spot and make a kill, other times I shoot over the top of the whole critter!

Dan,
I set up a 3D target in my front room and shot from my up stairs hallway. The clicker was very key to my success as well as picking a different spot on the deer target with every shot.
It appears to me when shooting at the same spot every time, you develop muscle memory and it's easy to be consistent on a target, and that does not replicate a hunting scenario.
Picking a different spot to hit every time I shoot, is what I believe helped me a lot. The most important thing I learned to do was breathe, relax as much as possible, be patient and talk myself through the shot.
It's basically the blank bale method but on a deer target vital.
