[QUOTE="gobblinfool, post: 3994427, member: 12696"] I know many people say that they shoot a lot...that is great...but how about shooting under pressure? Competing outside of the backyard and with others who you aren't familiar with. When I taught bowhunter education in alaska, we had a 40% pass rate for archers on the practical test. Here is what they had to accomplish: 8 shots at 4 targets 5 must be in the kill zone 1 target must have both arrows in the kill zone Now here was the target set up: Deer at 15yds in the wide open Caribou at 35 yards in the woods Black bear at 20 yards from an elevated stand Mountain goat at 35 yards in the woods Guess how many people blanked the deer at 15 yards? Sure some didn't practice enough, didn't think it would be a tough test, so they thought they would show up.....but many people admitted it was the nerves of shooting in front of someone that they never met before. I worked with a guy in SC in our indoor league, taught him the importance of follow through, and showed him that under pressure he could execute a perfect shot....which led him to killing 3 deer during his opening week of the SC bow season at his club.
