I'm not a hunter but I've often noticed that when I go out to the backyard to shoot that it takes a couple or three shots to settle in. That wouldn't work for hunting. Maybe practice taking one arrow out to your range. When that first arrow plunks into the 5" circle every time you'll be ready. Maybe take a book out to the range and sit in a really awkward position for an hour and then take your one shot ;D ;D

I also experienced this problem before. I started shooting less arrows. I'm pretty blessed that I can set up my target in my work shop. I try to string my bow and shoot one arrow at least three times a day. That really made my first shot a lot better.

Like Pearl said, you need to become proficient with your bow. You need it to be automatic when it's time for that shot. You also need to learn to hunt.

Maybe you could talk your friends dad into letting you hunt with a camera this year. You'll learn a lot and it will give you a pretty good idea of what you need to endure for a hunting season. Believe me. It's not all constant excitement.

You might get some awesome pictures to share with us to

Yea i have been hunting before bj. i go turkey hunting every spring and i have to say just sitting there with you and nature is more fun than people give it credit for. i think that is a good idea with the camera. My friends dad used to go deer hunting alot. he always seemed to get more than one. The problem is though is this past two his daughters dont want to go hunting as much so the only time he goes hunting now is when he takes me hunting and when he gets his one deer. but i could always just get permission to go in his blind and sit there. but no matter what i will get some good pics. that i can promise you.

Russ:
ok i think i know what im going to do. Probably no hunting this year with my bow. going to take some time to prepare with my bow and learn more about the deer and area. Im also going (As Bj suggested) to take pictures and post those instead of cursing pa with all my comments   ;).    im going to get my shooting down as perfect as i can. im still going to go hunting with my freinds dad probably with a rifle like last year. and im going to learn as much as i can in this next year. and most of all I wont rush. thankyou guys for you comments and if you have anymore please still post them as i still need to learn some more!
