FIRST DEER

I received a very exciting phone call from a gentleman I had the pleasure of coaching—he just got his first bow-hunted deer!

After waiting patiently for four days, he finally had the opportunity to take the shot. Forty-seven yards, and a perfect heart-shot.

When we first met, he was already a pretty good short-range shooter. He had been practicing quite a bit, but just wasn’t making the progress he hoped for.

We went over his shot process, and there were a few adjustments that needed to be made. Nothing major—understanding proper release and follow-through was the most significant. I also suggested he add a clarifier to his peep to help with his myopia.

But the most important thing is this: he listened, and he practiced. This time, it was perfect practice that gave him the perfect shot.

I am absolutely thrilled that he got his first deer. Congratulations!!
