shooting over a deer????
lowell:
Seems if I don't kill the deer I shoot over his back. Had one this morning at a good range and shot right over him.
Other than practice more from a stand, what should I do different. I have read to aim low but when I practice I seem to hit where I'm looking.... but not when it's a real deer!!
Part of the trouble may be that I have not been practicing from a stand as the weather here has been so crappy.
I have more excuses but not enough time to tell them right now!! :D
BUT......any tips will be appreciated and tried!!
El Destructo:
Pick you spot and Aim for it.....don't look at the whole Deer ....Just Your Spot..this helps me to not get Buck fever so Bad!!
Aim Small......Miss Small........It Works
sailordad:
remember your follow thru,dont move your head or your bow hand till the arrow hits its mark.
i know this always plays havoc with my shots.
FlintWalker:
I practice from a stand and still always miss high. Of course, if I miss at all, even at targets, I miss high ???
I can shoot great groups...about 4" high.
I shoot split finger and anchor on my cheeck bone right under my eye, and unless I intensly focus, I'll shoot high.
I could shoot 3 under and get it down, but I'd rather have teeth pulled than shoot that way.
I've toyed with the idea of shooting extremely heavy arrows.
sailordad:
heavy arrows= good penetration
heavy arrows=slow arrows
decisions decisions hmmmmmm :-\
