Practice, Practice, Practice

One shot is all you have when shooting a deer. It is very important to get plenty of practice shooting before season starts. You want to make sure you are very accurate and consistent. A foam deer is the best thing to use to practice because it is the most realistic. The best thing to do is imagine a deer walking by then try to be as smooth as possible and draw back then shoot. If you hunt from a tree stand, then it is a very good idea to practice shooting from one. Being at a different elevation can change how you shoot and that might just be the difference in a kill or not. Also try shooting at different angles so that you can be prepared for any kind of shot. You might have to make a difficult shot on a deer so it is a good idea to practice the hard shots. I usually just use practice tips on my arrows when I am practicing, but it is a good idea to shoot with the Broad head that you will be using in the field. A broad head may weigh different and cause your arrow to fly different. Practice is probably one of your best advantages.
