what shot messes with your head

[ericmerg]

like shooting uphill,shooting in small windows between tree's, rocks behind target ,downhill, etc

mine is threading the arrow between tree's and if theres a lake behind the target discovered the lake thing yesterday at a 3d course

Don't care where it is, don't care when it is....but every time I shoot at a standing bear on a 3-D course something goes haywire     ....lol! It does seem that the tougher the shot the better I do......most times!

Bullseye targets. Wierded out with those too many cmpd years ago. Haven't shot them since. Can. Don't want to. Make my head buzz.

Bedded buck is my target nemisis ! don't know why that target gets me everytime! Shoot it low almost everytime

[Jake Diebolt]

Standing bear weirds me out too. Every time I shoot I think "nailed it!" and then when I go to check my shot it's completely off the vitals.

Turkeys!!

[BAK]

Any target that presents itself as a diagonal image.  Good example would be a coyote sitting howling.   Something about not having the target "square with the world" that my head doesn't like.

For me there are two:

- when theres a gully, of wich i cant see the bottom, between me and the target or

- when the target is standing inside a gully or behind a slope so that i cant see it completely and therefore cant judge the height.

Shooting over limbs or something in front of the target.  Seem to always hit high.

Too many shots of bourbon are my nemesis.  It always messes with my head.

Shooting up in trees for squirrels or grouse seem to mess me up - I'm so concerned with losing an arrow that I talk myself into missing.  On 3D courses the one target that I have the most trouble with is the Antelope behind the board fence up on top of the hill - Most of the holes in the fence are mine   :rolleyes:

Shooting a "Five-spot" bulls eye target...I use them to practice that "one-shot/first-shot that counts" mentality. At the same distance I can hammer a single spot bull consistently but when I move to the five individuals to practice the above I seem to throw it all out the window.

X2 Turkeys

[robtattoo]

I don't have any. Without wanting to sound clever, I'm 100% convinced I'm going to 12-ring every single target when I get up to it.
If archery is 90% mental, why talk yourself out of a shot before you've taken it?

[Bill Carlsen]

X3 on turkeys. However, the live ones have been coming easier that past few years...have to get them close.

I actually like shooting thru holes in brush, past trees, etc. Somehow the structure gives me better visual/depth perception. Wide open shots are my least favorite unless they are very close.

Mine would have to be the five spot target also. I tend to find a "nemisis" target at most 3D shoot where I shoot multiple rounds but it is never the same. For whatever reason on that day any particular target can give me fits and there seems to not be a common thread to tie them together from shoot to shoot.

Standing bear, any turkey target, having to shoot over something close to the target while shooting down hill, at fairly close range.

[Tree Killer]

Shooting from a treestand.  I've overshot several Blacktail bucks and bull elk that I could have spit on!

Open sage country. Missed several BIG mule bucks that I thought were closer then they actually were. I'm used to hunting in thick dark timber where my depth perception is good and the deer are smaller. When I get in the wide open and the deer are bigger bodies...messes me up!

[Biathlonman]

For me it's from a tree stand at something below me.  Something about shooting down like that I always shoot high.

[David Mitchell]

All of 'em.
