PICK A SPOT An important but very simple way to make a better shot at a deer is to pick a spot. I used to just shoot at deer rather than shooting at a specific spot on the deer. This was partially because of inexperience and partially because of nerves. Had I incorporated picking a spot into my shot sequence, I would have a few more heads hanging on my wall. Today, when I draw back on a buck, I find a single hair I want my broadhead to split, and I don’t take my eyes off it until my fletchings disappear. Picking a spot also helps reduce the effects of buck fever by giving your brain something to concentrate on other than a buck’s giant rack.
