I used to get it real bad...I could hear my heart beat in my ears eyes wouldn't focus...etc...I have found the older I get the easier is is for me to focus on shot placement rather than seeing rack and freaking out. I stay focused on the shot then freak out after its on the ground. I am proud of my son h didn't freak made an excellent shot (double lung at 12 yards) to take his second buck in just two years of hunting. He made his shot and was focused enough to wait 40 min got down checked his blood covered arrow and tracked his 140" 8pt and did it all on his own at 16yrs old. I am very proud of the man he is becoming! He would rather hunt or fish than do anything else. I hope he stays that way. He wants to go into wild life law enforcement. His mother doesn't want him to. I told him to do what will make HIM happy.
