[QUOTE="Sealesniper, post: 2948309, member: 20769"] Bucklowery said it best. As for controlling it, that is something you must work on. The way I have learned to control the jitters is in practice. I don't walk or ride to the target from the bench. I jog there and back and get my heart rate up, that way when I sit behind the gun I am not calm. I have to be in control of my breathing and in tune with my heart. I still get very excited/buck fever like when shooting a deer, bear, small game or turkey. Like said above, if I lose that element, it is time to do something different. Then when it comes to the shot, I work to smooth out my breathing, which calms the heart, and I only look at where I am going to shoot. I am not shooting at the antlers, so I stop looking at them. I am not shooting the body either, I am shooting that one hair or patch behind the shoulder. I focus on my breathing, on the patch of fur, and my slow exhale the rifle goes off. Hope he gives you another chance. Get em [/QUOTE]
