Excellent thread guys! Way to go Stevie! Even though you missed her you said you learned a few things. That's what it's all about. Great gesture on Adam and Milos part in getting you on some deer/property. Can't wait to hear about tomorrows hunting adventure so keep us updated. Just a helpful tip to control the nerves that I read the other day: When the moment is upon you to make your shot, try to stay focused on your shooting form, but after confirming what your shot distance is. Most importantly keep your back tension taunt as if your pushing your bow toward the deer and your release arm back away from the deer. This usually steadies your pin before releasing the arrow. Pick a spot/hair where you feel is in the middle of the kill zone and just concentrate on making the best shot possible(form wise) and according to Terry Wunderle this will help take the anxiety away which is known as, "buck fever". Welcome to the most awesome experience in the world Steve! Goodluck and we're all pulling for ya! Oh, Terry Wunderle's article was in last months issue of NAW about 8 pages in.
