[QUOTE="Ckgworks, post: 2587840, member: 105102"] No one mentioned confidence......That's it for me, when you have shot alot you instantly know your limitations. As soon as you begin hemming and hawing about the shot you have already begun talking yourself into a miss. I'm still working my way through reading wind at longer ranges, and as soon as there's a odd wind I immediately start second guessing and often lead myself astray. There was a time when I shot my bow daily and several animals were cleanly taken when afterwards you look back at the shot and wonder how you saw your shot opportunity. I believe the more you shoot the more your brain just knows, and you react. Obviously all of the can also be completely overshadowed by cockyness..... we've all seen or heard of the people blazing away long past there capability. [/QUOTE]
