I think I can help you I have with others that had the same problem. WhenI switched back to traditional a recurve at the time. In the heat of the moment at the last second I'd shoot at the whole deer. Or like I said before my eyed be drawed to the horsonial line of the bucks back.
All you need is a place that willdraw your attention. I found out the crease of the front leg dose the same thing. So I shot at the crease and as the shots piled up. I slowly learned to pick a spot in the crease. After a while I learned to pick a shot any where.
Sounds like when you made your shot. Picking the a hair worked youhit where you were looking. The leg crease will just help draw you and keep your eye there. HERE'S SO MORE ADVICE AND I KNOW YOU'VE READ TONS.
When you shot at the whole deer this happens because at that last minite you want to see your arrow fly and hit. OK when you pick that spot FOLLOW THROUGH MEENING Don't (NEVER-NEVER) off the spot you pick before the arrow hitsthe traget.deer or what ever.
GOOOOOD LUCK

There are two deer in this picture but I can only see one. Here is how it went down. I had two deer come from behind me and walk back and forth on the other side of the fence (you might be able to see it) I was sure that the deer would not jump the fence so I pulled out my camera and a snapped a shot. Just as I took the picture the deer turned and jumped the fence and started following my trail right to the stand and I had a branch in the way at 11 yards so I started slowly pulling my bow and the deer look right at me and I froze. Then it turned around and when it could not see me I went to full draw (I did everything by the numbers and was able to metally go through all of the steps in making a good shot) slowly she finished turning and was almost broad side at 15 yards with a slight quartering away shot. I made sure at this moment to metally focus on a spot and let the arrow go. The arrow hit right were I was looking and the deer ran off jumped the fence and stopped I could see my arrow in the deer and then she slowly walked down the hill. I called my neighbor and we waited 40 minutes. We started tracking and then found the arrow it only went in like 3 inches or less and the tip was broken. I knew this was not a good sign. We tracked the deer for a couple of hours down hills across creeks and back up hills. No dice no deer no blood no tracks. I must have hit a rib on the side with that quartering away shot. When the deer walked down the hill it acted like nothing had happened. Has this happened to anyone else? I have the worst luck.
