    i have had a rough season of deer hunting and it all comes down to my archery shooting. I can practice at home without an arrow knocked, get lined up and have no issues and let down, but as soon as i place an arrow on, i feel like i cant control my aim at all, causing me to have very inconsistent shooting. I have shot for many years and found myself in this awful slump and ruining my hunting fun. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

    time to go back to the basics.
    blank bale shooting.
    make sure your grip is right
    make a system. make sure your anchors are consistant.
    and yeah. lower that draw weight!

    And another thing. Dont draw a bow without an arrow in it. Thats when bad things happen.

    Google Target Panic and look at the various methods for conquering it. Find one and give it a go.
