[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1277103, member: 30902"] It's just the result of an adrenaline rush. Heart rate, breathing accelerated, jittery hands, fingers, momentary inability to think clearly and focus on the tasks at hand. Experience and practice give you the skills to deal with it but it never really goes away. If I ever lose that rush, I'll probably give up hunting. I have a mental checklist that I run down to help calm myself when I feel it getting out of hand something taught to me by others many moons ago. It starts with trying to focus solely on the point of impact, calculating corrections getting a sense of the wind etc and applying them and then reminding myself to breathe, calm down, and squeeze it off when the time comes. Try hard to avoid looking at the head, tusks, horns, antlers etc after you decide it's a shooter and that helps dramatically. [/QUOTE]
